PRE-MATCH | DARREN PURSE

Ahead of the fixture, Darren Purse said: "It's been a positive start for us. The boys are playing up with the First Team and doing well, which is a massive positive for everyone across the Academy. On the pitch, there are some real positives. 

"Apart from the result against Wigan Athletic, where the players weren't quite at the races and didn't produce what they should do, in every other game they have produced some great performances and have earned the results to back that up. 

"This is Huddersfield Town's first year as a Catergory Two Academy and they've recently restarted. They're improving every week, as you do with young players. For them, it's been a process to get a squad together and they'll continue to get better. 

"For us, hopefully we can produce a performance like we did against Peterborough United and come out with a positive result."

RECENT RESULTS

The Bluebirds head into the fixture having won two, drawn one and lost one of the opening four matches of the season.

After a narrow 2-1 defeat to Wigan Athletic to end August, City bounced back brilliantly with a 4-1 win at Peterborough United.

Having gone behind early on in the first half, City were level at the break, going on to secure victory with three further goals after the interval. Jake Davies netted a brace, while Cody Twose and Troy Perrett scored a goal apiece.

Fielding a young starting lineup including a number of regular U18 players, the victory was City's second away win of the season in the PDL, continuing a perfect record on the road after August's 3-0 victory over Crewe Alexandra.
