Manchester City - Huddersfield Town: Form Analysis
Manchester City do not just have the longest unbeaten run in the FA Cup, they have also conceded just once in six matches. In their last outing in this competition, City beat Manchester United on their way to securing a treble. That marked the fourth straight time in this competition that they scored more than a goal. Each of their last four matches in the FA Cup have produced over 2.5 goals. Away from the FA Cup, City take into this game a run of four straight wins. After a triumphant outing at the Club World Cup, City returned to domestic action to register two straight wins. The most recent of them was a 2-0 win over Sheffield United at the close of 2023. They come here unbeaten in seven matches and in each of them, they scored two or more goals.
Huddersfield gets to meet Manchester City for the first time in four years. The last time these two met, Huddersfield suffered a 3-0 loss at home. The visitors haven't beaten Manchester City in any of their last seven meetings. Coming into this game, they also don’t have a great run. Huddersfield lost 4-1 away to Leicester City in their last game, their fourth loss in six matches. They have one win inside their last eight matches, a run that corresponds to their underdog status here. The 3-0 win over Blackburn Rovers remains their only clean sheet in 10 matches. In this defensive run, Huddersfield will struggle against City. They have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four matches. A run of four away matches without a win doesn’t help either. In their last two away games, Huddersfield suffered straight losses, failing to build on two earlier draws. They’ve also suffered losses in four of their last five away matches in the FA Cup.

Manchester City & Huddersfield Town Squad Analysis
The biggest news for Manchester City coming into this game regards the return of Erling Haaland. The Norwegian has missed the last seven matches with injury but is expected to return here after resuming first team training. Another returnee to training is Jeremy Doku, and the Belgian is expected to find his name in the match day squad. City are gradually getting back to full strength. The return of Kevin De Bruyne as an unused sub last time out signals his readiness to get into the fray. However, John Stones remains out with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, with the Asian Cup on, Huddersfield will have to do without Yuta Nakayama. The Japanese midfielder left earlier to link up with his national team for the competition.

Manchester City vs Huddersfield Town - Other Interesting Predictions
Both teams to score
Manchester City haven't been at their best defensively in recent matches save for those at the Club World Cup. Both sides scoring has been a regular occurrence in City’s home matches. As it has been the case in four of their last five home games, both teams managed to score. It is the same scenario in four of Huddersfield’s last five away matches, and we expect both teams to score here too.
Over 2.5 goals
Huddersfield’s last three matches have had at least three goals scored. They conceded twice in at least three of their last four matches. Their history against Manchester City has also seen them concede heavily. They haven't shown much ability in recent times to stop a recurrence of this. As such, we will go for over 2.5 goals here.
