There is no greater love for football fans than watching the English premier league unfold before our very eyes. There is just something so magical and mythical about it that forces us to pay attention and hope with breaths raised high and jaws wide open. This is exactly the situation we have in the title race right now and one mistake can pull the title race or end it altogether. Manchester city would surely have that on their mind when they entertain Huddersfield.
Manchester city is with a doubt the defending champions of the premier league. Before the season started, they were also assumed to be favorites. But then, Liverpool happened. At the start of the season, they were the undisputed champions. Right now, they are seven points behind Liverpool with a game in hand. These are urgent times for Manchester City and their coach would be aware that any loss would spell the end of their title race with the way in which things are shaping up. Guardiola would thus be very eager for Manchester City to win this game this Sunday.
Huddersfield is not in a good place. Their stay in the premier league has literally turned into a nightmare for that team. They face an opponent which is worlds apart in terms of quality and what they have achieved this season in the league. Huddersfield sits 20th out of 20 teams in the league. They have also managed to play about 22 games. They have amassed just 11 points. Manchester City on the other hand after 22 games have managed to get 53 points on their scorecard. Huddersfield is dangerous in the relegation zone. They are 10 points behind the drop and would need to start winning now if they want to actually play in the premier league next season. Winning Manchester City at home would be a perfect way to gain confidence.
Just like their points in the league, you can expect too that their form in all competition would be very different indeed. Huddersfield has sadly not won a game in the last six matches. In fact, out of those six matches, about five of them have ended in losses. There is good news for them though as they would take the draw against Cardiff as a sign that they have turned a corner in the league at the most crucial part. They would need to give their utmost best when they face the defending champions.
Manchester City, on the other hand, has an almost impeccable record over the last six games in the league. They have won five of their last six games in all competitions. Four of those wins have come in the league. This, therefore, shows the kind of form that they are in. they would need to maintain this form for the remaining 15 matches as any glitch would see Liverpool win away with the league.
It promises to be a fight to the death and a wonderful spectacle for the neutrals.
