The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Huddersfield were on the receiving end of a 3-0 hammering from Liverpool at the John Smith's Stadium on Tuesday. David Wagner's men were outplayed by the Reds, which extended the club's winless run in the Premier League to seven matches. The Terriers have battled well in their first campaign in the Premier League, but are now just one point above the relegation zone and are in need of a run of positive results.
Manchester United will be looking to get back to winning ways this afternoon, having lost 2-0 during the week in their visit to Tottenham. Jose Mourinho's men had an awful night at Wembley conceding in the opening 11 seconds. Christian Eriksen's early strike and an own goal from Phil Jones condemned them to defeat. The Portuguese will want a reaction from his players today.
Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the Premier League clash between Manchester United and Huddersfield Town at Old Trafford.
Manchester United subs: Victor Lindelof, Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Michael Carrick, Ashley Young, Marcus Rashford, Sergio Romero.
HUDDERSFIELD TOWN (3-4-3): Jonas Lossl; Mathias Jorgensen, Christopher Schindler, Terence Kongolo; Tommy Smith, Philip Billing, Jonathan Hogg, Florent Hadergjonaj; Rajiv van La Parra, Laurent Depoitre, Collin Quaner.

Young and Martial also make way, while Jones misses out due to illness. McTominay, Mata, Shaw and Rojo all come into the side this afternoon.
Wagner has made three changes to his team from their defeat to Liverpool. Mooy and Mounie drop to the bench, while Chris Lowe is out with an injury. Smith, Quaner and Van La Parra all get the nod to start at Old Trafford.
STAT ATTACK! These sides haven’t met at Old Trafford since March 1972, with the Red Devils winning 2-0 in a top-flight fixture with goals from Ian Storey-Moore and George Best.
STAT ATTACK! Huddersfield are winless in their last 14 away games against Man Utd in all competitions (D5 L9) since a 6-0 victory in September 1930.
FLASHBACK! Huddersfield won the earlier meeting this season between the sides as strikes from Mooy and Depoitre fired them to the three points, with Rashford notching a late goal for Mourinho's men.
There will be a minute of silence before kick-off to mark the 60th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster.
HALF-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 0-0 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN
It's goalless at the break between Manchester United and Huddersfield at Old Trafford. United have had a couple of chances to open the scoring, but Jonas Lossl has been on form to deny Alexis Sanchez and Jesse Lingard. The visitors have not offered a great deal at the other end of the pitch, although they have kept Jose Mourinho's side honest enough at the back. The Portuguese will not be thrilled by his side's performance in the first half.
FULL-TIME: MANCHESTER UNITED 2-0 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN
Manchester United respond to their defeat during the week with a comfortable 2-0 win over Huddersfield this afternoon. They were frustrated in the first half, but Romelu Lukaku broke through in the 55th minute. Alexis Sanchez notched his first goal for the club after seeing his penalty saved by Jonas Lossl, with the Chilean pouncing on the rebound to slide the ball home. Huddersfield have now lost their last five Premier League matches on the bounce and have now dropped into the relegation zone. David Wagner needs to find a solution soon to stop their slide.
Thanks for joining our commentary this afternoon. Until next time, goodbye.
