Your support makes all the difference.The Terriers have been one of the surprise packages in this season’s Sky Bet Championship. They are currently third in the league and boast the fourth best home record in the Championship so Manchester City will have to be at full force to book a spot in the FA Cup quarter-final. A win for David Wagner’s side in a game of this magnitude would be a real statement of intent for the promotion chasers and it would be the first time Town have gone beyond the fifth round since the 1971-72 season.
Manchester City's form has improved markedly in recent weeks. Wagner’s side, though, have hit a purple patch of their own winning their last six games and will provide their Premier League rivals with a stern test.
