FT: Huddersfield Town 0 - 3 Leeds United

Date: 7th November 2015, Kick Off: 12:30pm

Welcome to the official match thread for Huddersfield Town v Leeds United in the Football League Championship.

The West Yorkshire derby gets its first Sky live coverage on Saturday as the Terriers get to grips with rivals Leeds under the watchful eye of new Huddersfield manager, David Wagner. With neither club setting anything alight this season, the arrival of the hairy German from Dortmund provides a little bit of extra interest to a fixture that Leeds have dominated in recent seasons.


Last time out:

Huddersfield 1 Leeds 2 (31st Jan 2015)

After Harry Bunn had cancelled out Sam Byram's early strike before half time, Billy Sharp sent the away fans into raptures with a 90th minute winner.
