Huddersfield Town 1-1 Leeds United highlights: Whites held vs ten men as winning streak ends short of record
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The Whites' fixture against the Terriers stands between Daniel Farke and a new club record this afternoon as Leeds go in search of a tenth straight league win to continue their excellent start to 2024. United's unbeaten run across all competitions came to an end in midweek as Chelsea knocked Farke's young side out of the FA Cup in what was characterised as an undeserving victory for the Blues.
Leeds' nine-game winning streak in the league, meanwhile, is the joint-longest run of its kind in Whites history, with their last such run occurring in 1931. Local rivals Huddersfield will be keen to spoil the party however, and have won three of their last five matches as new coach Andre Breitenreiter seeks to salvage the club's Championship status.

Huddersfield Town vs Leeds United LIVE
Not his best work
47' Georginio does all the difficult stuff really well, taking the ball under pressure, skipping past two challenges then lashes a shot out for a throw-in. Frustrating.
Second half underway
46' Off we go again. Matos on for the hosts. Ward makes way. No changes from Farke yet.
HT: Huddersfield 1-0 Leeds
45+10' Inches wide by Georginio. Gets a strong left-foot behind it and that's half-time.
45+8' Gruev gives a free-kick away in the corner. Leeds need to curb this as set-pieces are where Huddersfield are going to get their joy.
RED CARD
Jonathan Hogg given his marching orders for a second yellow. Catches Firpo in the face with his forearm. Huddersfield down to 10.
Goal. Huddersfield. Helik.
45+1' Helik pokes in after a Huddersfield set-piece is nodded towards goal. Meslier keeps the initial effort out but centre-back is closing in.
Nine added minutes to this first half.
Yellow, again
39' Pearson now carded for a late challenge on Summerville. Catches him on the ankle. This game has been sooooooo stop-start.
38' Kasumu into the book for a tackle on Rodon. Went to shoot but Leeds defender got there a split second before and the Huddersfield midfielder clatters into him.
He's here, he's there, he's everywhere
36' Archie Gray to the rescue. Glen Kamara with a short pass back to the 17 y/o and Sorba Thomas capitalises. Bearing down on goal, 1-v-1, Gray watches him all the way and takes it off him.
Corner squandered
33' Corner Leeds. Gnonto found well by Kamara, plays his way into the box. Chested away for a set-piece. Near post ball headed clear.
Another stoppage
30' Game lacking in quality so far you'd have to say. Leeds' out-balls being shadowed by Huddersfield players and their attacking play smothered. Lots of stray passes. Kasumu down for the hosts off the ball. Had been feeling something earlier.
Keep an eye on him
23' Summerville carrying on. Next five minutes will tell us how bad that knock has proven.
