Team News:
- Huddersfield Town will be ready with all their players fit and ready to be in action.
- Rayan Cherki, Omar Marmoush, Mateo Kovacic and Rayan Ait Nouri will not be in action for Man City as they are injured. Abdukodir Khusanov might also miss out due to a lack of fitness.
Player(s) to watch:
- Joseph Taylor will be one of the important men in the attacking front for Huddersfield Town. He is yet to score a goal in the EFL Cup this season. The 22-year-old has performed decently for his side this season. As the upcoming fixture is going to be an important one, Taylor will be keen on dropping his best performance here.
- Erling Haaland continues his scoring run for Man City. Erling Haaland opened the scoring for his side in the previous game, but it was not enough for them to secure a win. He is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence in the upcoming cup competition fixture.
