Huddersfield Town travels to the home of the newly crowned Premier League Champions Manchester City on Sunday 6 May 2018 in what will be Town’s 36th league game of the season.
City comes into the game off the back of a 4-1 victory away at West Ham last weekend. Leroy Sané, Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho all got their names on the scoresheet, with the fourth goal being poked into the back of the net by former Manchester City player Pablo Zabaleta.
Last weekend’s victory saw City break the record for the most number of Premier League wins in a single season and the most number of Premier League goals scored by a team in a single season.
Pep Guardiola’s side also needs just one more win to break the record for the most number of points gained in a single Premier League season. Chelsea hold the current record with the 95 points that they amassed during the 2004/05 season.
Last time out in the league the Terriers fell to a 2-0 defeat at the John Smith’s Stadium at the hands of Everton, Cenk Tosun and Idrissa Gana Gueye with the goals for the Toffees.
Town currently sit 16th in the league with 35 points from 35 games and just three games remaining.
