Manchester City and Huddersfield Town have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of tonight’s Carabao Cup tie. The two teams meet in the third round of the competition at the Accu Stadium.

Lee Grant’s side has beaten Leicester City and Sunderland, both victories coming via penalty shootouts, to book a home tie against Manchester City in the third round of the Carabao Cup. They have beaten two highly fancied opponents and will be eager to cause a famous upset tonight. They will also be up for the occasion and will be backed by a vocal home crowd at the Accu Stadium.

Pep Guardiola will rest several key players for tonight’s match after a tough week of fixtures last week. It is expected that Erling Haaland and Rodri will not feature against Huddersfield Town. Omar Marmoush, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki and Abdukodir Khusanov are all unavailable for tonight’s match due to injury. Their unavailability could see young players such as Divine Mukasa and Stephen Mfuni start for Manchester City.
