Huddersfield Town’s Under-23 side is back in action on Monday afternoon, with a short trip to South Yorkshire to play league-leading Sheffield Wednesday.

Senior Professional Development Coach Frankie Bunn’s team takes on the Owls in the latest Professional Development League game of the season in an 11am kick-off at Sheffield Wednesday’s Middlewood training complex.

You can follow team news and updates of goals from the game on Town’s official Academy Twitter account, @htafcacademy.

The young Terriers come into the game on the back of an exciting 3-3 draw at Burnley a week ago, where Joe Lolley and Isaac Marriott were among the scorers. Watch free highlights from the game below courtesy of #HTTV!

Monday’s opponent tops the Northern PDL table coming into the game; former Ipswich defender Neil Thompson’s young Owls have an impressive 21 points from 11 games having beaten steel city rivals Sheffield United last time out.

Town’s U23s currently sit bottom of the 11-team northern table, but can go as high as eighth with a win on Monday morning.

Huddersfield Town Under-23s travelled to South Yorkshire to face Sheffield Wednesday for the next instalment of its Professional Development League 2 campaign but were defeated by two-goals at Middlewood Road.

The game proved to be Kasey Palmer’s first return to action having not featured for David Wagner’s side through injury since its goalless draw at home to Southampton at the end of August.

Kasey was one of six changes to the side that drew at Burnley last Monday with Lewis O’Brien and Regan Booty back in action having been away with the First Team on their international break training camp in Marbella. Romoney Crichlow-Noble, Rarmani Edmonds-Green and Cedwyn Scott were the other players introduced in place of Denilson Carvalho, Olly Dyson, Isaac Marriott, Scott High, Mason O’Malley and Danny Kane - who was away on international duty.

Town went a goal down just before half-time as a bursting run through the centre from a Sheffield Wednesday midfielder saw him play in Warren Clarke who duly fired the host into a one-goal lead at half time.

Kasey Palmer was replaced by Olly Dyson during the break as a part of a planned substitution as the Terriers chased the equaliser. Town were unable to get back into it as Fraser Preston doubled the Owls lead late on tapping home a cross to condemn the Terriers to a two-goal defeat.

Next up for the Under-23s is a home-tie against Barnsley at PPG Canalside next Monday.

Town’s Starting Line Up (4-2-3-1):
Tadgh Ryan; Romoney Crichlow-Noble, Rarmani Edmonds-Green, Dylan Cogill, Jordan Thomas; Lewis O’Brien, Regan Booty; Jack Boyle, Kasey Palmer (Olly Dyson, 45’), Joe Lolley (Denilson Carvalho, 65’); Cedwyn Scott (Dom Tear, 65’)

Unused Subs:
Luke Mewitt, Isaac Marriott
