Manchester City will face Huddersfield Town in the third round of the Carabao Cup | OneFootball

Manchester City will be aiming to bring home silverware in four competitions this season. The Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup represent an opportunity for Pep Guardiola’s side to claim silverware. Manchester City enter the Carabao Cup at the third round stage of the competition. They will face League One side Huddersfield Town in the third round of the Carabao Cup at Accu Stadium.

Manchester City’s third-round opponent in the Carabao Cup was confirmed in last night’s draw. The third round of the Carabao Cup is scheduled to begin on the weeks beginning on the 15th and 22nd of September. The kick-off time and date for Manchester City’s third-round Carabao Cup tie is yet to be confirmed. Huddersfield Town will host the tie at the Accu Stadium.

Huddersfield Town booked their place in the third round of the Carabao Cup with penalty shootout victories over Leicester City and Sunderland. Lee Grant’s side have done exceedingly well to overcome Championship and Premier League opposition. Their reward for those victories is a home tie against Manchester City. It is expected that the Accu Stadium will be packed to the rafters for the visit of Pep Guardiola’s side.

The last meeting between the two teams took place in January of 2024. On that occasion, Manchester City won 5-nil in the FA Cup third-round tie. The match was memorable from a City point of view as Kevin De Bruyne made a triumphant return from injury at the Etihad. The hope is that Pep Guardiola’s side can pick up a win in the Carabao Cup third-round tie at the Accu Stadium.
