Manchester City<\/a> open their 2025-26 Carabao Cup campaign with an third-round tie away to League One<\/a> side Huddersfield Town<\/a> at the Accu Stadium on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n Pep Guardiola’s side have had a punishing week in the build-up, with a Champions League<\/a> tie against Napoli<\/a> sandwiched between the Manchester derby and a trip to Arsenal<\/a> in the Premier League<\/a>. Guardiola and his players have complaimed about their busy schedule, but the games continue to come thick and fast.<\/p>\n 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 coming hot on the heels of this one.<\/p>\n Huddersfield have already beaten one Premier League side on their way to the third round — beating Sunderland<\/a> on penalties at the Stadium of Light<\/a> in the last round. They’re fourth in League One, with 16 points from their nine games so far this season.<\/p>\n 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<\/a> after losing 3-1 to Bradford City<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here is everything you need to know ahead of Wednesday’s cup clash.<\/p>\n The match will be available on Sky Sports in the UK, Paramount+ in the U.S., FanCode in India, BeIN Sport in Australia.
