Match preview
Blackpool take on the Terriers looking to make it back-to-back wins in the Championship after seeing off Fulham at the weekend to claim their first three points of the season.
Josh Bowler was their hero, scoring a superb solo effort to beat a Fulham side that started the day atop of the Championship table.
As for Huddersfield, they still remain ninth despite slumping to an unfortunate 2-1 defeat to Stoke City at the weekend.
Coming off the bench on Saturday was a certain Ollie Turton, who made a surprise move to West Yorkshire just four days after Blackpool’s play-off triumph at Wembley.
The defender made eight appearances so far this season for his new club after opting to bring an end to his four-year stay at Bloomfield Road.
Tonight’s encounter will be the first meeting between the two sides since the infamous final game of the 2014/15 season, which was abandoned due to fan protests.
