Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:
Huddersfield are at 16/1 to win, a draw is at 13/2, and a Manchester City win is at 1/7.
Huddersfield enter this match at the very bottom of the division with only 11 points gained from 22 matches so far. They have just one point from their last four matches, and this poor run of form that ended with a draw against Cardiff, has seen David Wagner, a massive figure in the club’s history, decide to leave the club by mutual consent. They have just two wins all season and have given up 37 goals in a huge struggle thus far. City, meanwhile, begin the weekend four points off of Liverpool’s pace but could well be seven behind when this game kicks off. They have won three matches in a row after those two shock losses back-to-back in the league, and in the cups, they have been swatting aside lesser competition. They could well be backed to do similar here.
The Terriers’ home record thus far has been abysmal to say the least. They are bottom of the Prem with just a win and two draws in 11 matches to give them a lowly total of just five points. They have dropped four home results in a row and have only one single point from their last five matches. They’d be underdogs no matter who they faced in this match, but they will be expected to be blown away by the Citizens. The Citizens’ away record is fourth best in the league with them grabbing 20 points from ten trips so far. They did lose two in a row recently, but they have rebounded with a win at Wolves, who are much better than this Terriers side are. City have scored nearly two goals a match away from home, and you’d have to back them to increase that tally even further after this match.
Jesus to score a hat trick is at 14/1 via Ladbrokes.
Over 2.5 goals scored in the first half is at 5.2 at Betfair.
It’s not a question of who will win, it’s a question of by how much. Huddersfield have played City close in recent times, but they have also taken wallopings from them, too. The latter happens here as City fills up their hats.
Caretaker boss Mark Hudson is without right back Tom Smith, center midfielders Aaron Mooy and Danny Williams, and attacking mid Abdelhamid Sabiri due to injuries for this match.
In an attempt to get more attacking productivity into the team, the Terriers have loaned in Jason Puncheon from Palace. The winger has the ability, but it is going to be a huge task for him to try and pull off an Andros Townsend wonder goal given the rest of his side around him. Goalkeeper Jonas Lossl is going to have to have one of the games of his career in order to keep it even close. He was tremendous against Chelsea last season, can he do a similar feat and keep out City in what should be a landslide?
Huddersfield have a draw and four losses in their last five matches:
0-0 draw at Cardiff
1-0 loss at Bristol City (FA Cup)
1-2 home loss vs Burnley
1-0 loss at Fulham
3-1 loss at Manchester United
Pep Guardiola has injuries that are sidelining goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, center back Vincent Kompany, and left back Benjamin Mendy at the moment.
Gabriel Jesus must have been sick of the talk about him being a poor striker. His recent outburst has seen him score seven times in just three outings in all competitions, two of which came against Wolves on Monday night at Molineux. It might look easy, but it’s never easy to keep Sergio Aguero out of the lineup. One reason it looks so easy, though, is because of Leroy Sane. City’s wing play has been exceptional, and it is that that gives them their bite. His seven goals and eight assists means he has been involved in more goals than Huddersfield have altogether (13 goals).
Manchester City have won each of their last five matches:
3-0 home win vs Wolves
9-0 home win vs Burton (EFL Cup)
7-0 home win vs Rotherham (FA Cup)
2-1 home win vs Liverpool
1-3 win at Southampton
