by Devesh Jaganath in Carabao Cup Predictions
Huddersfield Town will face one of the toughest tasks in all of English football in midweek, when they play host to Manchester City at Accu Stadium in the third round of the Carabao Cup. The Terriers exited this competition in the second round last season, while the Citizens bowed out in the fourth round to Tottenham Hotspur. Check out our match prediction below!
Pep Guardiola described the 2024-25 season as the toughest in his managerial career after his side finished without a major domestic trophy for the first time since he arrived at the club in 2016-17. They also suffered continental disappointment, failing to reach the last 16 of the Champions League, making this season all about rebuilding and redemption for the Sky Blues.
Huddersfield Town also endured a poor 2024-25 campaign in which they parted ways with Michael Duff after their hopes of an immediate return to the Championship ended in March. Now under the guidance of Lee Grant, they will be hoping to slay an English giant this week, but history is against them, as they’ve not featured in the EFL fourth round since 1999-00. Let’s get into the key stats!

Huddersfield Town - Manchester City: Form Analysis
Lee Grant has made a fairly positive start to life in West Yorkshire, picking up 16 points from his first nine league games at the helm (W5 D1 L3), just four fewer than League One leaders Bradford City.
The Terriers booked their spot in the third round of this competition for the first time in over a decade by beating both Leicester City and Sunderland on penalties in rounds one and two, respectively.
Notably, the hosts have been very impressive at home this season, still unbeaten after seven matches at Accu Stadium across all competitions, with six of those games ending in victory.
However, Huddersfield have not beaten this opponent in the 21st century (D2 L5)!
In fact, the last time these sides met was in the FA Cup last January, and Man City smashed in five goals without response, taking their tally to 14 in their last three matches against the Terriers.
The Citizens enter this fixture off the back of a 1-1 draw against Arsenal at the weekend, which followed a 2-0 victory over Napoli in the UCL and a 3-0 win in the Manchester Derby four days earlier.
Excluding pre-season friendlies and the Club World Cup during the summer, the visitors have only lost two of their last 10 away games (W5 D3 L2) and kept clean sheets in six of those matches.

Huddersfield Town & Manchester City Squad Analysis
Huddersfield were dealt a major blow on Monday when it was revealed that Liverpool product Herbie Kane is set to be sidelined for several weeks due to a groin injury sustained against Bradford.
Lynden Gooch and Jack Whatmore are flagged as doubts, but Grant confirmed that Ruben Roosken should be part of the squad despite taking an elbow to the face over the weekend.
Joe Taylor has had four goal contributions in his last three home games across all competitions (3 goals; 1 assist), and he will likely lead the line here, ahead of Alfie May in the number 10 role.
Pep Guardiola is expected to make wholesale changes for this clash!
The Spaniard received several injury scares over the weekend, with the headline one being that of Erling Haaland, who reportedly complained of back pain after the trip to the Emirates.
Nico O’Reilly and Abdukodir Khusanov were also withdrawn with knocks against the Gunners, while Mateo Kovacic, Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait Nouri and Omar Marmoush are all sidelined.
However, John Stones returned from injury at the weekend and could start this week, in front of James Trafford, who has been displaced as the starting keeper since the arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Our Huddersfield Town vs Manchester City Prediction
Huddersfield Town have experienced a notable upturn in results since the arrival of Lee Grant, but facing City is a massive task even for the best teams in the land, as we saw in their clash against Arsenal over the weekend.
Pep Guardiola’s side have not been at their very best this season, but given the firepower they possess, we feel they will make light work of this opponent en route to the last 16. Our Huddersfield Town vs Manchester City prediction is Manchester City wins & BTTS (NO).
Huddersfield Town vs Manchester City - Other Interesting Predictions
Phil Foden to score anytime
Phil Foden had 20 goal contributions last season and scored in his first league start of this campaign against Manchester United. Additionally, the England international could start in a false nine role here with Erling Haaland likely to be rested for this match.
