Man City vs Huddersfield Prediction and Betting Tips: Two bets for Sunday's FA Cup clash

Man City continue in their quest for back-to-back trebles when they return to FA Cup action for the first time since they lifted the famous trophy back in June.
Pep Guardiola's troops have been handed a third round tie at home to Huddersfield, who were victorious all the way back in 1922.

Man City are extremely short at 1/40 for the win in 90 minutes, Huddersfield are a large price at 45/1 to stun the holders, while a draw can be backed at 16/1 (all with BetMGM).
City have won two of the last five editions of the FA Cup to take their tally to seven successes; just one behind Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham, while Arsenal are out in front with 14 triumphs ahead of Man Utd's return of 12.
City are the 5/2 favourites to successfully defend the trophy for the first time in their history, with Huddersfield a four-figure price out at 1000/1.
The hosts are in eye-catching form, winning their last four games on the spin which includes victory in the Club World Cup, while they've won all but one home FA Cup game since 2015.
Huddersfield sit one place above the Championship drop zone in 21st and have won just one of their last eight games, yet with no pressure on their shoulders they have a free hit to try and conjure up something extremely special.
Man City vs Huddersfield Tips
As expected, there are a cluster of Man City stars priced at odds-on in the anytime goalscorer market. This is no real shock given the disparity between the sides coupled with City's incredible home form, with Guardiola's side unbeaten in over a year at the Etihad, during which they've scored three or more goals on 21 occasions.
City ran out 6-1 winners the last time these teams met at the Etihad and that was when Huddersfield were plying their trade in the Premier League. City had 77% possession that day, plus 32 shots, 14 of which were on target.
No one is ever guaranteed a place in Guardiola's starting-11, but I think there's a little bit of value to be had in a Grealish goal at odds-against, 7/5, with BetMGM.
The winger has found his shooting boots of late, scoring three goals in his last five league games, and will be looking to transform this sudden spurt into cup competitions as City seek a winning start to the defence of their trophy.
As touched on, Man City boast an extremely impressive home record. Their fans have become accustomed to seeing goals in abundance at the Etihad and, with no disrespect to Huddersfield, the visiting goalmouth could well be a hive of activity on Sunday afternoon.
This season at the Eithad, City have pinged six past Bournemouth, five past Fulham, and three past Spurs. Last term, they scored four goals against the likes of Real Madrid, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham; six goals flew in against Man Utd, Nottingham Forest and Burnley; while sorry RB Leipzig leaked in seven.
Huddersfield conceded four against Leicester in their last game and have kept just one clean sheet in 13 away games this season. You do fear for them if they go a goal down early, with the Terriers losing 6-1 the last time they visited the Etihad.
I will therefore be opting for over 4.5 Man City goals, which I've paired with Huddersfield to have the most cards to form a 3/1 double with BetMGM.
The Terriers have one of the better disciplinary records in the Championship, but they are unlikely to see much of the ball on Sunday, meaning there's every chance frustrations could boil over, especially given the ubiquity of trickery and speed in the home side's ranks.
