Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Huddersfield Town vs Sunderland from the John Smith's Stadium. Huddersfield Town vs A win in West Yorkshire could lift Sunderland back into the top half of the table but defeat would see Huddersfield move to within three points of them. And no Michut, who is absent from the squad after picking up a groin problem at Luton. [Sunderland](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/sunderland-afc) travel to West Yorkshire having won just one of their last eight matches and [Tony Mowbray](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/tony-mowbray) will be keen for the Black Cats to start looking back up the table rather than nervously over their shoulder at the relegation battle. They take on a Huddersfield side who are bottom of the league but have lost just twice in the six matches since new head coach Mark Fotheringham succeeded Danny Schofield as the club's manager.

Sunderland look to get back to winning ways tonight as they take on Huddersfield Town at the John Smith's Stadium.

Danny Schofield was sacked early on this season, having replaced Carlos Corberan on the eve of the campaign. The game will be available on Sky Sports via the red button service, with coverage available on Sky Sports Football and via the Sky Sports App. Sunderland will travel to the John Smith's Stadium as they look to build on their decent point at Luton Town last time out.

Huddersfield Town lineup to face Sunderland: Lee Nicholls; Brodie Spencer, Michal Helik, Yuta Nakayama, Josh Ruffels; David Kasumu, Etienne Camara, Jack Rudoni; ...

Jackson to take from the left - on his right foot! The latter slips Spencer in again to cross, and it's blocked - corner on the right. It's given away, but Camara wins it back and sends Jackson up the left, but his cross is cleared. "And then there will be times when the best they can do is maintain their position. It comes to nothing as Rhodes can't find space to shoot or play in Rudoni, but Town are keeping the pressure on well here. Good ball from Pritchard to tee up Amad inside the box.

Pritchard settled old scores at the John Smith's Stadium as strong second half performance gives Sunderland the win. Here's how Andy rated the players ...

Was caught out of position once but got back quickly to make a recovery block, defended well and played a great cross to his opposing full back Cirkin only for the left back to shoot wide. Another good game for Amad, linked up well with Roberts and plays as if he is more experienced than he is. Should have scored early on but read the game well very late on to clear before the second goal.

Despite Town's best efforts, it was the goals from Alex Pritchard and Amad Diallo in the second half that saw the Terriers defeated at the John Smith's Stadium.

That led to Sunderland launching a counter-attack, leading to the first goal. His shot hit the ‘keeper and came back out to Rhodes in the box, who sent the reebound high and over the bar. This was followed by a shot by Rudoni from outside the box, which went just wide. However, this meant that Leon Dajaku could make his attempt on the rebound, but his shot went just wide and out for a goal kick to Town. He used the set piece to pass the ball to Jack Rudoni, who turned and hit a shot that went just over the bar. A second corner was awarded to Town due to Championship debutant Brodie Spencer’s valiant efforts by the corner flag.
