Manchester City take on Huddersfield Town in the FA Cup third round, looking to extend their impressive run of form this weekend.
Manchester City will be the favourites heading into the contest against Huddersfield Town, and the home fans will be expecting a comprehensive victory.
Meanwhile, the visitors have been quite disappointing in recent weeks, and they will need a major slice of luck to get something out of this contest. Huddersfield have picked up just one win from the last six outings, and it is highly unlikely that they will be able to pull off an upset away from home against the Premier League champions.
