Huddersfield Town vs. Manchester City Picks
Huddersfield Town could surprise a few and with Manchester City expected to make significant changes, maybe the door for an upset is slightly open.
The Terriers, though, have fallen off after their positive start of the season and the Cityzens have continued to improve.
City’s firepower is just too much Huddersfield; they take this one.
Other markets include Phil Foden to score two or more goals, Tijani Reijnders to get an assist and Bernardo Silva to have two or more shots on target.
