TEAM NEWS...

Here we go, the teams are coming out of the tunnel. Kick off is just minutes away.

Jack Watson26 November 2017 15:57

1: We're off. The John Smith is deafening, if the 12th man counts for anything, it will be important today.

Jack Watson26 November 2017 16:01

5: City, as expected, are moving the ball left to right and back again in an attempt to tease out Huddersfield. They win a corner and Leroy Sane takes an out-swinger which Huddersfield clear for another corner. Kevin De Bruyne takes and finds Vincent Kompany who heads wide.

Jack Watson26 November 2017 16:07

10: Huddersfield enjoy a short spell in City's final third but Fabian Delph dispossession Tom Ince and wins a free kick.

12: Manchester City have the ball in the net but the flag is up. Kevin De Bruyne takes a quick free kick and crosses to Sergio Aguero who puts the ball in the net from an offside position.

Jack Watson26 November 2017 16:14

Blimey. This might go some way to explaining why City have enjoyed 73% of the ball so far.

Jack Watson26 November 2017 16:14

16: Huddersfield break from a corner and Tom Ince does well to find Tommy Smith who drives forward, cuts inside from the left flank and shoots over the bar.

Jack Watson26 November 2017 16:18

18: Hudderfield clear a corner and as the ball falls to Tom Ince, Fabian Delph raises a foot and catches the Huddersfield player on the leg. A free kick is given but no yellow card much to the annoyance of those inside the John Smith stadium.

Jack Watson26 November 2017 16:20

21: Huddersfield look to break with Aaron Mooy but Sergio Aguero, of all people, tracks back and tackles his opponent.
