Preview

Joe Taylor was the hero for Huddersfield on Saturday afternoon as his late brace helped the Terriers claim all three points on their visit to the Abbey Stadium. Martin Drury's side have taken seven points from their first three league outings, putting them second in the standings.

Oxford United's game against Reading couldn't go ahead on Saturday, meaning the U's have enjoyed some extra rest ahead of their trip to Yorkshire. Aaron Ramsey's side are unbeaten in the league this season after a tumultuous summer off the field.
