Huddersfield Town v Brighton: match preview

Huddersfield v Brighton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light.
Huddersfield v Brighton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light.

Two of the clubs promoted from the Championship last May can compare notes on how they are finding the Premier League – not too bad judging by their presence above the relegation zone. Huddersfield won this fixture 3-1 in February but on that occasion Izzy Brown was playing for the Terriers, on loan from Chelsea. Now on the south coast, Brown will line up for Brighton today.
