Latest team news for Huddersfield vs Newcastle U21
Joe Taylor, who came off the bench and scored a consolation goal in the defeat against Barnsley, is likely to be given a starting spot in the next match.
Manager Grant may also rotate the squad in preparation for the league match against Peterborough, with players like Leo Castledine, David Kasumu, and Lasse Sorensen ready to start.
In goal, there will certainly be a change as first-choice goalkeeper Owen Goodman is suspended after receiving a red card in the previous match, giving Lee Nicholls the opportunity to start.
For Newcastle U21, Sean Neave – who has scored in three of their first four games of the season – is almost certain to start. Following their first Premier League 2 draw against Birmingham, the visitors are likely to keep the same lineup when they face Huddersfield.

Latest football match prediction: Huddersfield vs Newcastle U21
Huddersfield Town endured a difficult first season back in League One last year, finishing only 10th and 14 points short of the play-off zone, including a disappointing run of six consecutive defeats towards the end of the season.
Entering the new season, new manager Lee Grant has helped Huddersfield get off to a much more positive start, with four wins and two losses in six league matches. In addition, they also overcame Leicester City and Sunderland on penalties to advance to the third round of the EFL Cup.
Those results propelled Huddersfield to sixth place in the League One table, a position they hope to maintain until the end of the season, with the goal of returning to the Championship.
However, Huddersfield lost their last match 1-3 to Barnsley, and they will be determined to get back to winning ways when they host Newcastle U21 midweek.
The home team is considered the much stronger side, as their opponents – Newcastle U21 – haven't won a single match in 90 minutes in the EFL Trophy since the 2018-19 season.
Newcastle United also had a terrible start to the 2025-26 season, losing two, drawing one and winning only one of their first four matches.
Newcastle's only victory came in their opening match against Gateshead in the National League Cup, with Cathal Heffernan scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute to make it 4-3. Since then, they have lost to Southampton U21 (1-2), suffered a humiliating defeat against Chelsea U21 (0-5), and were fortunate to draw with Birmingham U21 (2-2) thanks to a 91st-minute equalizer.
