"Pep Guardiola's side have had a punishing week in the build-up, with a Champions League tie against Napoli sandwiched between the Manchester derby and a trip to Arsenal in the Premier League. Guardiola and his players have complaimed about their busy schedule, but the games continue to come thick and fast. Much like the other top Premier League sides in this competition, Guardiola is expected to rotate his pack for this game on Wednesday night, with a Saturday Premier League fixture against Burnley"
"Huddersfield have already beaten one Premier League side on their way to the third round -- beating Sunderland on penalties at the Stadium of Light in the last round. They're fourth in League One, with 16 points from their nine games so far this season. However, their recent form has been a touch sticky. Lee Grant's side haven't won either of their last two games -- drawing 0-0 against Burton Albion after losing 3-1 to Bradford City."
