Huddersfield Town vs Manchester City

Manchester City begin their campaign in the EFL Cup as they travel to Huddersfield Town for a third-round clash.

After a slow start to the season, the Citizens appear to be finding their feet again. They also boast a dominant record in this fixture and should have too much quality for the hosts, who have looked off colour lately.

Huddersfield Town News

Huddersfield Town have done some giant-killing in the EFL Cup after knocking out Premier League side Sunderland on penalties in the previous round. Both teams battled to a 1-1 draw in regulation time, with Leo Castledine’s early effort canceled out by the hosts before the League One side won the shootout.

The Terriers have looked a bit off colour lately and head into this clash winless in their last two League One matches. They suffered a 3-1 defeat at Bradford City before playing out a 0-0 home draw with Burton Albion last weekend.

The good news for Huddersfield Town is that they are solid at home and are unbeaten in six matches in front of their fans. Three of the last five matches across all competitions for Lee Grant’s team have produced over 1.5 first-half goals.

Manchester City News

Having drawn a bye from the previous rounds, Manchester City are set to make their first appearance in this season’s EFL Cup. They head into Wednesday's match off the back of a 1-1 Premier League draw at Arsenal last Sunday.

That result means Manchester City are now unbeaten in their last three matches across all competitions, a fine turnaround following a slow start to the season. Pep Guardiola's team have picked up two wins on this run, with a 3-0 victory over Manchester United among their results.

Despite their issues, Manchester City have had a few one-sided results this season. Alongside the win over Manchester United, they have also picked up a 4-0 victory at Wolves in the Premier League.

Head to Head

Manchester City have never lost in this fixture, with five wins and two draws from seven previous matches against Huddersfield Town. Both teams met in an FA Cup clash in 2024, with the Citizens claiming a 5-0 home victory.

Verdict

Huddersfield v Man City

Manchester City often dominate this fixture and have won by at least three goals in the last three matches against Huddersfield Town. The Citizens have also scored over 2.5 goals in all three fixtures, and a similar pattern could be expected here.

There have been over 1.5 first-half goals in the last two matches between both teams, and a repeat could be on the cards.
