Liverpool travel to Huddersfield today hoping to record their first win in five matches. The Reds last tasted the sweet nectar of victory against Southampton last month and have since lost out to Chelsea and Napoli after an unbeaten start to the campaign. Jurgen Klopp’s men did pick up draws against both the Blues and Manchester City, however, and remain firmly in the mix at the top of the Premier League. They’ll be hoping to reaffirm their title credentials this evening as Klopp takes on best friend David Wagner in a game that could see the boss forced to shuffle his pack. Naby Keita has been ruled out after picking up a thigh injury on international duty, while Sadio Mane faces a late fitness test. Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and James Milner trained this week, though, and could all feature from the start. James Pearce and Ian Doyle have made the trip to the John Smith's Stadium this evening while Paul Gorst and Theo Squires ensure everything runs smoothly back at ECHO HQ.

HUDDERSFIELD 0-1 LIVERPOOL | SALAH (22) Huddersfield XI: Lossl, Durm, Zanka, Schindler, Lowe, Hogg, Billing, Mooy, Pritchard, Hadergjonaj, Depoitre Liverpool XI: Alisson, Robertson, Van Dijk, Lovren, Gomez, Milner, Henderson, Lallana, Shaqiri, Sturridge, Salah Mohamed Salah starts, Sadio Mane not in squad Mohamed Salah opens the scoring with slick finish Jonathan Hogg hits the post with long-ranger Jordan Henderson off with tight hamstring Fabinho and Roberto Firmino on Huddersfield vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE Premier League updates HUDDERSFIELD 0-1 LIVERPOOL FT: That turned out to be the last chance. Huddersfield were excellent this afternoon and should be proud of their display but they simply don’t have a clinical touch. Mohamed Salah, however, does have a clinical touch grabbed three points for Jurgen Klopp’s side. 93: Diakhaby nearly makes an instant impact off the bench when turning the burners off down the left flank and delivering a low cross into the penalty area. Van Dijk did just enough. 92: Can Huddersfield carve out and convert one last chance? Wagner sends Diakhaby on for Hogg for the final two minutes. Something social required, mate. 90: Four minutes added time. 89: Mooy tries his luck from 20 yards, after a smart pass from Pritchard, but it flies into the back of van Dijk. Time running out for the hosts and their insanely loud supporters. 86: Corner to Huddersfield and the fans celebrate it like a goal… Ah, Mooy’s deliver is abysmal. That’s rare because you can usually trust the Australian international at dead-ball situations. Huddersfield vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE Premier League updates 83: Oh he’s missed a sitter. An Mbenza cross bounces off Van Dijk and falls straight to Steve Mounie, who spins and blazes over from eight yards out. That was the game right there. 80: The arrival of Roberto Firmino and Huddersfield’s double change looks to be working in Liverpool’s favour. The visitors look fairly comfortable in these closing stages. Mohamed Salah spots the overlapping Xherdan Shaqiri but Schindler makes the block. 77: Daniel Sturridge is booked for clearing the ball away. Silly boy. Roberto Firmino comes on for James Milner. 74: Schindler gets across excellently to put a dangerous Robertson ball behind for a corner. Lossl punches the resulting set-piece into orbit. Fists like iron that guy. 71: Huddersfield make a change of their own, and it’s an attacking one as Isaac Mbenza and Steve Mounie replace Billing and Hadergjonaj. Wagner is going for it with two physical strikers up front. 70: Final 20 minutes now. Still plenty of bark in Huddersfield, but not much bite. They don’t really have any pace or guile to cause Liverpool many problems. Fabinho coming on to make his Premier League debut. He’s on in place of Adam Lallana, who’s got a serious case of cramp along with a pair of ripped shorts. 68: That should have been game, set and match. Wijnaldum dinks the ball over to Mohamed Salah, but the Egyptian drags it wide with most of the goal at his mercy. Huddersfield vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE Premier League updates 65: Dodgy from Alisson, who races off his line to clear but slices it high in the air. Fortunately for the Brazilian, Joe Gomez was there to head clear the danger. 62: Virgil van Dijk sneaks round to the far post from an inswinging corner and volleys tamely at Lossl. Quite a tough chance from that angle. 58: Close! Well I thought it was close but my colleague believes it to have been a routine save from Alisson. Depoitre rises highest to nod a cross from the right but Liverpool’s No.1 gathers. OK, perhaps I was wrong. 56: Chris Sutton seems fascinated by the news Liverpool have a throw-in coach. He thinks it would mean the difference between a Premier League trophy and a runners-up medal. Not too sure about that, Chris. 53: Schindler flicks a long Billing throw into the centre of the area but a Liverpool defender just manages to clear above the head of Depoitre. 51: Apparently Jordan Henderson has a tight hamstring. Needs to save himself for the Champions League clash with Red Star on Tuesday… Wednesday… one of the two. 48: Daniel Sturridge cuts inside from the right but his left-footed effort is fired high and wide. He was trying to re-create that banger against Chelsea. HUDDERSFIELD 0-1 LIVERPOOL 45: Strange one. Georginio Wijnaldum replaces Jordan Henderson, who is presumably injured. I don’t see why Jurgen Klopp would take his captain off in a tight game like this. Huddersfield vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE Premier League updates HUDDERSFIELD 0-1 LIVERPOOL HT: Huddersfield players will wonder how on earth they are trailing at the break but the answer is simple - Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian impeccably finished Liverpool’s only real chance. Huddersfield had a decent shout for a penalty, hit the woodwork and saw a goal disallowed for offside. 45: Disallowed goal! It’s simply ALL Huddersfield right now. Alex Pritchard has the ball in the net but he’s adjudged to have been offside when Hogg played him through. 43: Penalty appeal! Milner is the most relieved man inside the stadium. Depoitre’s flick-on strikes the Yorkshireman on the arm via his thigh but Michael Oliver isn’t interested. Look a really good shout in my eyes. 42: Oh that HAS to be better, Huddersfield! David Wagner is furious on the sidelines after another wasteful attack. Pritchard has Billing on the overlap in acres of space but delays the pass and Van Dijk recovers. 39: Joe Gomez is penalised for a high-boot and Huddersfield have a free-kick around 35-yards from goal. Surely Billing isn’t going to shoot from here. … he bloody has!! Really good curling effort that whistles past the post. So close and a great strike. Huddersfield vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE Premier League updates 38: Booked! Adam Lallana is booked for a late challenge on Chris Loewe. Just a little over-eager from the playmaker, who hasn’t started a Premier league match for Liverpool since New Year’s Day. 36: Obviously I sound stupid for criticising Liverpool when they’re ahead, but they’ve really only created one opportunity against relegation-threatened Huddersfield. Just a bit leggy perhaps. 33: Mohamed Salah has scored his 50th goal for English clubs, reaching this tally in just 83 games in all competitions. 31: Woodwork! When things aren’t going for you… Huddersfield captain Jonathan Hogg releases a rocket from 25 yards out and hits the post. The hosts are still going for it. 28: Penalty appeal! Shaqiri wants a spot-kick after seeing his cross strike Zanka on the arm. Referee Michael Olivier isn’t interested, and rightly so because he was barely two-feet away! 26: Mooy sets Hadergjonaj away down the right; the full-back cuts the ball back to Depoitre 25 yards out but the striker's effort is caught by Alisson after being blocked by Lovren. Huddersfield vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE Premier League updates Huddersfield vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE Premier League updates HUDDERSFIELD 0-1 LIVERPOOL | SALAH 24: Where’s that come from?! The supposedly out-of-form Mohamed Salah silences the doubters with a fabulous finish to give Liverpool the lead. Joe Gomez finds Xherdan Shaqiri, who slides in Salah and the Egyptian international expertly pokes the ball beyond the outstretched Jonas Lössl. Winning games when you’re not playing well. That’s the stuff of champions, right? 21: Mohamed Salah looks to break for the visitors but Schindler anticipates the change in direction and makes a sliding challenge. That could have been curtains if he’d timed it wrong. 18: There’s just NO energy in this Liverpool side right now. We’re used to seeing Jurgen Klopp’s side flying into challenges and pressing but there’s been precious little so far. 15: Thwack! Chris Lowe bravely sticks his head in the way of Joe Gomez's shot and hits the deck in agony. Don’t worry, he’s patched up on the sidelines and back on the field. 12: There are some encouraging sings for Huddersfield. The first being Liverpool’s inability to make any runs behind their back five, and the other is Billing - who looks right up for this today. The midfielder fires another long throw into the area; this time Lovren heads it behind for a corner. Huddersfield vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE Premier League updates 9: Wooosh! Now that would have been headline news. Van Dijk rolls it back to Alisson, who takes an eternity to get rid of the ball. Depoitre chases and blocks the clearance for a corner. That really could have gone anywhere. 6: No real pattern to play in the past couple of minutes. Liverpool aren’t clicking, Huddersfield aren’t clicking… it’s click less. 3: Right then, how have things started I hear you asking. Well, Huddersfield have started brightly with a few nice exchanges going forward. There’s a bouncing atmosphere inside the stadium - I think they believe something special is going to happen tonight! HUDDERSFIELD 0-0 LIVERPOOL 1: And we’re underway! So much talk about this match in the build-up with injuries, form and Nations League arguments - but it’s time for action. For Liverpool to win the Premier league they’ll need strength in depth - so time for Xherdan Shaqiri, Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana to show what they’re capable of! Huddersfield vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE Premier League updates Twitter round-up George: If Liverpool want to genuinely contend for the league title this season then today is an absolute must win game. Tom: Liverpool supporters hoping for a 6-0 thrashing of Huddersfield here should remember it was David Wagner’s birthday yesterday so Jurgen Klopp probably won’t want to batter him too much! Firmino: Need to make a big statement today, especially with Manchester City battering Burnley. I'm going for 1-4 Liverpool. Not being biased are you, Firmino? Huddersfield vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE Premier League updates Team news 17:10: Adam Lallana makes his first start of the season as Liverpool bid to extend their unbeaten Premier League run at Huddersfield. Lallana has recovered from his latest injury setback to feature for the first time since a late substitute's appearance at Crystal Palace in August. Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and James Milner have all recovered from minor injuries and will also start. Huddersfield, chasing their first win of the season, include Philip Billing in their starting XI after he recovered in time from an ankle injury, while Isaac Mbenza is named on the bench. Huddersfield vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE Premier League updates The starting XI… 17:05: And here come the line-ups! Jurgen Klopp starts Daniel Sturridge and Xherdan Shaqiri with Roberto Firmino on the bench and Sadio Mane out of the squad completely. Huddersfield XI: Lossl, Durm, Zanka, Schindler, Lowe, Hogg, Billing, Mooy, Pritchard, Hadergjonaj, Depoitre. Subs: Hamer, Bacuna, Diakhaby, Van La Parra, Mbenza, Mounie, Stankovic. Liverpool XI: Alisson, Robertson, Van Dijk, Lovren, Gomez, Milner, Henderson, Lallana, Shaqiri, Sturridge, Salah. Subs: Mignolet, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Firmino, Origi, Matip, Alexander-Arnold. Huddersfield vs Liverpool: Express Sport brings you LIVE Premier League updates Welcome… 17:00: Hello everyone, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Huddersfield vs Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp and David Wagner share one of the closest friendships in football and they will go head to head at the John Smith's Stadium when Huddersfield take on Liverpool. Klopp's Reds have stuttered after making their best-ever start to a Premier League season, but remain unbeaten and could return to the top of the table if they return to winning ways after successive league draws. Huddersfield will set a new and unwanted club record of seven straight home games without scoring a goal if they fail to end their drought in front of their own fans. Team news and line-ups? Why not…<doc-sep>
MO SALAH got back on the scoresheet - and got Liverpool back to winning ways. The Egyptian wizard went a month without finding the net before his winner at the John Smith’s Stadium. 8 Mo Salah scored as Liverpool beat Huddersfield 1-0 Credit: Reuters 8 The result leaves Liverpool level at the top of the table with Man City Credit: AFP And it meant Jurgen Klopp’s side were back on track after four matches without a victory. Salah struck in the 24th minute after a move that was started by Joe Gomez in defence. Gareth Southgate was in the crowd and would have been impressed with Gomez setting up the attack by fizzing a pass to Xherdan Shaqiri. Shaqiri found Salah and he breezed past Christopher Schindler before finishing off the post. 8 Liverpool fought hard to grind out a result away from home Credit: AFP 8 Daniel Sturridge led the line as the Reds were impacted by the international break Credit: AFP Huddersfield rallied and hit the post through Jonathan Hogg’s long-ranger. And Alex Pritchard had the ball in the net but had just strayed beyond Virgil van Dijk into an offside position. Laurent Depoitre forced Alisson into a second-half save with a header and they cannot be criticised for a lack of effort. But it meant Liverpool were a threat on the break and Salah raced through again but went wide with his finish. 8 Adam Lallana was forced off the field with an injury Credit: PA:Press Association 8 Jurgen Klopp was pleased to see his team win ugly Credit: PA:Press Association Jurgen Klopp praises Huddersfield and is coy on Liverpool’s title chances 8 David Wagner's men fought hard but were unable to find a goal Credit: AFP 8 The likes of Dejan Lovren had a busy night as Liverpool kept a clean sheet Credit: Getty Images
