Man City vs Huddersfield: FA Cup prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds

Manchester City begin their defence of the FA Cup with a third-round tie against Championship side Huddersfield.

Blackburn, Rotherham and Port Vale are just some of the underdogs pumped by the treble-winners at this stage of the competition in recent years.

Few expect Huddersfield to pull off an upset this time around with the Terriers in the Championship relegation zone after a run of one win in eight games.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Man City vs Huddersfield is scheduled for a 2pm GMT kick-off on Sunday, January 7, 2024.

The match will take place at Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
