Guardiola’s side lacked that bit of the cutting edge as they looked rather lethargic in their play. They would however atone for their sloppiness in the second half when they ran out easy winners over the home side.

Pep made some changes coming into this match welcoming Sergio Aguero, Ilkay Gundogan, Nicolas Otamendi and Kevin de Bruyne back into the fold.

A hugely decorated Blues side had all the possession but never really threatened managerless Terriers’ goal. However, thirteen minutes into the game, there was a huge penalty call. Sterling was felled into the box by Rodney Kongolo. City fans were left scratching their heads but the unwavering referee saw no foul in that.
