Below is a preview of the team statistics, emerging lineups, Head to head comparisons, trends and several betting tips are available below.

🏠 Huddersfield Town: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: LWWLD

Cup Form: WW

The first two EFL Cup games for the Huddersfield Terriers all led to penalties, with the Cup opener against Leicester City going into penalties after a 2-2 scoreline in regular time. The game saw them consistently trail after the guests, who eventually lost out in penalties. Round 2 happened on the flip, with the Terriers securing the lead early, but falling back to a leveraged tie late in the game. The penalty shoot-out saw Lee Grant’s side emerge victors after a 6-5 success from the spot-kick determinant.

🏁 Huddersfield: Lineup

The conventional line-up by Lee Grant features a 4-2-3-1 standing, with five midfielders and one standing striker. The midfield will be divided into the defensive and the center, with the emphasis on the fallback stance expected to have be enforced during mid-week training sessions, since they face one of the most clinical strikers in the world, in Erling Haaland.

🔖Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Nicholls, Roosken-Low-Feeney-Sorensen, Kasumu-Ledson, Alves-May-Castledine, Taylor

👤 Head Coach: Lee Grant

⛔ Out: Nil

✈️Manchester City: Form and Statistics

Recent Form: LLWWD

Cup Form: WW

Tied with a streak of tournaments, the Cityzens are immersed in a torrent of fixtures, with the 2-nil victory over the visitors from Naples in the UEFA Champions League setting the tone for the 1-1 stalemate against Mikel Arteta’s gunners in the domestic league. Still on the road, they will be confronted by the “fortunate” Terriers this time.

While their initial entry into the Cup will be the third round, Manchester City will go into the game with a heavy prejudice. Manchester’s City road worthiness will once again kick in, with the side scoring consistently in the last five away games played across all competitions.

🏁 Manchester City: Lineup

At the Emirates, Pep Guardiola's 4-1-4-1 formation produced a 1-1 at full-time, largely because the tempo of the team was a little laid back, since they employed caution not to give too many chances away. Erling Haaland remains the highest scorer in the team, and the league - with six goals. Gianlugi Donnarumma seems to have won the hearts of his teammates, with brilliant saves since joining.

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4–1-4-1): Donnarumma, Khusanov-Dias-Gvardiol-Stones, Rodri, Foden-Silva-Reijnders

👤 Head Coach: Pep Guardiola

⛔ Out: Omar Mamoush, Kovacic, Cherki, Kalvin Philips

🎯 Huddersfield vs Manchester City F.C. Match Prediction 24 September 2025

We are expecting the match to be heavily lop-sided due to a couple of reasons. Firstly, the difference between the squad quality of the two sides is alarming. Pep’s men will be looking to exert complete dominance from start to finish. Secondly, Manchester City has one of the deadliest attacking lineups, with Erling Haaland leading the Doku-Silva-Foden charge. Lastly, Donnarumma will be at the goal posts, indicating total shutdown against the average Huddersfield side, whose presence in this round has been through the gift of penalty shootouts.

🔥 Our betting tip here is for Manchester City to win, and Total Over 3.5 goals at 2.12 odds from 1xbet
