Pep Guardiola takes his in-form Manchester City side to Championship high-flyers Huddersfield Town on Saturday for an FA Cup fifth round clash.

The Citizens have won their last three Premier League matches to move up to second in the table, and they are now within eight points of leaders Chelsea after beating Bournemouth 2-0 on Monday night, coupled with the Blues’ 1-1 draw at Burnley the day before.

With just one defeat in all competitions in 2017, City certainly seem to be heading in the right direction, although they face a tricky test on Saturday at the John Smith’s Stadium given Huddersfield’s recent good run of form.

David Wagner’s side are the form team in the Championship having won their last five matches, with their last-gasp 3-2 victory on Tuesday against Rotherham moving them to within four points of the automatic promotion places.

With just two home defeats all season in the league, it is sure to be a tough test for City, especially as Guardiola is likely to make a few changes to his starting eleven as they face Monaco in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Thus, here are THREE City players who deserve a chance against Huddersfield on Saturday…
