A bout of indifferent early season form is typical for the Premier League, European and World Champions, but City are now on a run of four back-to-back wins in all competitions. Pep Guardiola will expect to maintain that momentum today.
Darren Moore’s Huddersfield Town team, however, are at the wrong end of the table and come into the game on the back one win in four and a heavy 4-1 defeat at Leicester on New Years Day.
Optimistic Terriers fans might also take note that while City have not been knocked out of the cup at home since 2015, the last time they failed to make the fourth round was when they were cup holders in 2012. It's not a lot to hold on to but it is something.
