Relegation-threatened Huddersfield Town face a daunting trip to Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
Manchester City have already sealed the Premier League title and are just one win away from breaking a Premier League record for the number of games won in one campaign. The Citizens also need just two more goals to have the highest tally of goals in one Premier League.
Pep Guardiola’s side has won eight of their last nine top-flight games, while also scoring at least two goals in seven of their last nine Premier League games.
The Citizens home form has been formidable in recent months and the champions have recorded 15 wins in their last 16 games in the English top-flight. A key factor in that recent good run of home form has been their effectiveness in front of goal, as the Citizens have scored at least two goals in 15 of their last 16 home games in the league.
Huddesfield are in the thick of the relegation battle, 16th place in the Premier League table, just three points clear of the drop zone. Last time out, the Terriers suffered a 2-0 defeat against Everton.
The defeat means that David Wagner’s side has now won just one of their last seven outings in the top-flight, which has not helped the visitor’s chances of avoiding the drop this season.
The visitor’s biggest problem in the top-flight this season has been a lack of goals. In fact, no team has scored fewer top-flight goals than the Yorkshire outfit this season.
Wagner’s side has won just one of their last eight games on their travels in the Premier League. A lack of goals has proven their main obstacle to away wins of late, as they have failed to score in six of their last eight games on their travels.
That away record looks highly unlikely to improve at the Etihad Stadium. Forebet predicts that City will record a big victory in a high scoring clash.
