City’s Cup Clash with Huddersfield Confirmed…
Manchester City will lock horns with Huddersfield Town in the third round of the Carabao Cup. With Manchester United sent to gravy land by Grimsby Town after penalties, the draw put Pep Guardiola’s stars up against the Terriers at John Smith’s Stadium next month. Though City hasn’t yet stepped foot in this season’s cup due to their Champions League adventures, they’re ready to rumble like caffeinated kangaroos. Premier League titans in European competitions skip straight to the third round on this wild ride.
City had a monopoly on the Carabao Cup from 2018 to 2021, hoarding four consecutive titles like a fashionista hoards shoes, but recently, they couldn’t conquer past the quarter-finals. Despite last season’s fourth-round exit to Tottenham, Pep and his team will start fresh against the Terriers, a team they last faced in 1968. Meanwhile, Huddersfield pulled a rabbit out of their hat against Sunderland and repeated the trick against Leicester City, both after nerve-wracking penalties. The third-round fireworks are set for mid-September, so fans, mark your calendars!
