Leeds United 4-1 Huddersfield Town highlights: Summerville and James at the double in demolition derby
Leeds United welcome Championship and Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield to Elland Road this afternoon as the Whites hope to bounce back from their midweek defeat to Stoke City. The turnaround between Wednesday night’s fixture and today’s lunchtime kick-off is a short one, with Daniel Farke awaiting good news on the availability of left-back Sam Byram who he confirmed during his press conference yesterday would need assessed.
The Whites boss did confirm, however, that the 20 players involved in the matchday squad in the Potteries, more or less, would be available to him for selection today. Terriers boss Darren Moore, meanwhile, is still in search of his first win as the new Huddersfield manager having replaced Neil Warnock earlier this month.

Don’t be injured, don’t be injured, don’t be injured
54’ Rutter down in a heap after colliding with Tom Lees. Receiving treatment now but appears in some discomfort. Looks to be his right knee.
Update: He’s up and walking. This journalist breathes a sigh of relief.
HT: Leeds 4-0 Huddersfield
It’s a bloodbath out there, and there’s another half to come. Summerville with two goals and two assists. Woof.
GOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLL 4-0 SUMMERVILLE
45+4’ They’re just tormenting them now. Rutter absolutely skins Edwards down the flank, cuts back for Summerville who shimmies one way, then the other and finds the bottom corner. South Stand ole-ing every completed pass in the build-up.
Next one...
44’ Darren Moore needs to make several subs at half-time just to keep eleven on the pitch. Hogg fouls Ampadu once more and gets away with just a talking to.
