Summary
Huddersfield Town's impressive EFL Cup run continues with the visit of Premier League outfit Manchester City to the John Smith's Stadium on Wednesday night. The Terriers have already ousted Leicester City and Sunderland, while Pep Guardiola's side enters the competition for the first time this season, looking for an early route to silverware.
Team Updates
Huddersfield Town: Lee Grant will be missing some players in Herbie Kane, Lynden Gooch, and Jack Whatmough, all of whom are nearing returns. Daniel Vost and David Kasumu will likely form the midfield pairing, while top scorer Joe Taylor will lead the line with Dion Charles, Leo Castledine, and Will Alves supporting him.
Manchester City: The legendary Spanish manager Pep Guardiola is expected to rotate heavily. Kovacic, Aït Nouri, Marmoush, and Cherki remain sidelined, but Erling Haaland is a doubt after he suffered back pain against Arsenal. James Trafford could slot in for Donnarumma in goal, and Savinho, Rico Lewis, Nico Gonzalez, and Oscar Bobb will be pushing for starts.
Form Guide
Huddersfield are determined in cup competitions this season, having knocked Leicester and Sunderland out of the competition on penalties; however, in the league, the team has achieved only one win in its last four matches.
The start for City was hit and miss, though they are regaining form, with a win over arch-rivals Manchester United, a convincing victory at Napoli, and a draw in their last three matches against Arsenal.
Match Preview
Huddersfield Town come into this match with confidence after becoming known as a cup giant-killer in the EFL Cup. However, they will be facing an entirely different level of opposition in Manchester City.
City may not be in their best form so far this season, but they have enough squad depth to dominate even while rotating. Guardiola’s men will look to have ball possession, and City will hope to outmanoeuvre Huddersfield in midfield, relying on the creativity of Phil Foden, Silva, and Savinho to break down the Terriers’ defence.
Huddersfield’s energy can keep them competitive in the early going, especially with home support; however, with Manchester City’s quality, they will look to succeed.
