A bout of indifferent early season form is typical for the Premier League, European and World Champions, but City are now on a run of four back-to-back wins in all competitions. Pep Guardiola will expect to maintain that momentum on Sunday. 

Darren Moore’s Huddersfield Town team, however, are at the wrong end of the table and come into the game on the back one win in four and a heavy 4-1 defeat at Leicester on New Years Day. 

Optimistic Terriers fans might also take note that while City have not been knocked out of the cup at home since 2015, the last time they failed to make the fourth round was when they were cup holders in 2012. It's not a lot to hold on to but it is something. 

Can Huddersfield cause the upset of the round? Below, we'll show you how to watch Man City vs Huddersfield online. 

How to watch the Man City vs Huddersfield live stream wherever you are

The Man City vs Huddersfield live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to BBC iPlayer or another service and watch the game.
