MANCHESTER CITY eased past Huddersfield Town in the FA Cup third round, scoring five without reply to begin the defence of one of the many trophies they are currently in possession of.

Pep Guardiola does not take lower division opponents lightly, and this was reflected in the job City did on Sunday afternoon.

The home fans were buoyed further by the return of Kevin De Bruyne, who had been out of action since playing 23 minutes of City’s Premier League opener at Burnley, where he came off with a hamstring injury.
