Will the visitors get bombarded? The answer is yes, at least according to Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson.
“City have hit the ground running and Huddersfield got slaughtered by Chelsea, they were well beaten at home. This is a different kettle of fish again; I just don’t see how they can contain them.”
He also thinks Manchester City will end up winning 5-0.
Manchester City vs Huddersfield Preview
Huddersfield pulled off a shocking 0-0 draw in Manchester last season but based on what we saw in the opener against Chelsea, they’re in for a heavy defeat this time around. David Wagner’s men had an unprepared Chelsea side ready for the taking in round one. Instead of feasting on a rare opportunity, they played as if they were even less prepared than their opponent, losing 3-0 at home.

Pep Guardiola’s rigorous regime made sure his team was ready to hit the ground running against Arsenal and Manchester City started their title defence in the same they finished it, with a win. The Citizens were at the end of some bad news during the week, as their MVP Kevin De Bruyne suffered a knee injury in training which will keep him out of football for a couple of months. Nevertheless, this is a matchup of two teams on the opposite ends of the spectrum. It’s quite possible that one (Manchester City) will finish first and the other one (Huddersfield) will finish last when is all set and done.
