Huddersfield Town welcome the visitors Manchester City in the English Premiere League – Round 23. The match will be held on Sunday, January 20th, at the Kirklees Stadium (Huddersfield).
Huddersfield Town’s bosses have decided to part ways with the manager David Wagner, which is not surprisingly, given the team’s current position. The ‘Terriers’ presently take the last place in the standings, running in jeopardy of relegation. Nevertheless, the team were not hopeless under Wagner’s stewardship. They dropped points many times in this campaign but demonstrated better performance than their opponents did. Take, for example, their clash with Cardiff City, in which they deserved a win, but their conversion let them down again. Also, in their last-round outing against the Premiere League highflyers Manchester United, Wagner’s side were good and managed to avoid a hammering.

Manchester City have won 5 consecutive rounds; in 3 latest ones, they shipped yet 19 goals. This highly effective performance is not a surprise. When competing with Wolverhampton, the ‘Citizens’ opponents got a yellow card in the first half. Before the clash with the ‘Wolves’, Pep Guardiola’s men surpassed the representatives of the 3rd and 2nd divisions. The City have certainly recovered from the Christmas woes, but their lopsided-score wins in the last rounds are not illustrative. It is also noteworthy that the ‘Citizens’’ 4 rounds in a row were held on their turf. The team are much more scoring at the Etihad than away. In the Premiere League home fixtures, they shipped 2 times more goals than in outings. On their travels, Guardiola’s side gained only 2 devastating wins in this campaign.
The manager’s dismissal normally stresses players out. Thus, Southampton demonstrated a totally different performance just right after Kelvin Davis’s resignation, and they won Arsenal in their first home play under the new stewardship. It is very possible that Huddersfield need some changes, though much was done by their former head. Anyways, in this season, the ‘Terriers’ suffered only 3 hammerings in 22 PL rounds, 2 of which were in the start of the league. On their turf, the Sunday hosts allowed 3 goals in only 1 of 10 latest encounters, though they faced Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur throughout that period. Manchester City gained only 2 wins in 6 latest outings, and they did not keep a clean sheet in any of these. Therefore, we do not expect any hammering at the hands of the visitors tomorrow either.
Prediction for the match: Huddersfield Town to win with a +2.5 handicap.
