Expected Line-up For Manchester City vs Huddersfield

With the FA Cup 3rd round ties being played this weekend, there are questions on what team the quintuple winners will field against the championship side.

With De Bruyne returning to the bench for their game against Sheffield United, could he make an appearance?

The belief is that, with it being an FA Cup tie, Pep will put out a weaker side than what fans are used to seeing in the Premier League and the Champions League this season.

He posted to his X on the 4th of January, ‘See you soon’ which made city fans go wild with the tweet receiving 3.7 million views.

It is expected to see Oscar Bobb who has seen success in the premier league and the champions league this season proving himself to Pep as an important part of the city squad as a rotation player.

With Kalvin Phillips rumoured to be moving team in the January transfer window, it wouldnt be surprising to see him not get game time, however, against a side like Huddersfield his experience would be perfect for a game like this.

The game is being played at the Etihad Stadium kicking off at 2pm being streamed on BBC sports red button.
