Huddersfield Town vs. Manchester City: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Manchester City were far from their best when they travelled to the John Smith's Stadium in the 2025-26 EFL Cup third round, but the visitors still eased past a helpless Huddersfield Town with a 2-0 win.

Phil Foden sent the Citizens ahead with a stunning long-ranged strike, before the attacking midfielder set up the second with the assist for Savinho's goal.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 82

Huddersfield Town wins: 22

Draws: 30

Manchester City wins: 30

Huddersfield Town and Manchester City first met in a double-header in November 1920, with the Terriers handed back-to-back defeats - losing 1-0 on November 06 and 3-2 on November 13.

That marked the start of a dominant run of results in this fixture for the Citizens, as Huddersfield Town managed only two wins from their first 18 meetings.

The Terriers grew into the fixture over the following decades, claiming 19 wins from the next 56 matches before enduring a long wait for their first matchup of the modern era.

Huddersfield Town and Manchester City were eventually drawn against each other in the fifth round of the 2016-17 FA Cup, with the Terriers earning a replay after an initial 0-0 draw at their home ground, only for the Citizens to demonstrate their immense quality in the replay with a 5-1 demolition at the Etihad Stadium.

That marked their first meeting since 2000, with Man City having developed into one of the best teams in the Premier League while Huddersfield Town spent several years in the lower divisions, but their promotion to the top flight in 2017-18 brought more regular encounters.

Unfortunately for the Terriers, this fixture has brought no joy in the modern era, including three losses and one draw from their Premier League meetings - with an aggregate score of 11-2 to Man City - before their relegation in 2018-19.

The two clashed once again in the FA Cup last season, with Manchester City continuing their dominance over Huddersfield Town as they ran out 5-0 winners in the third round.

While the Citizens were unable to continue their run of high-scoring victories over the Terriers in their most recent clash, Man City did extend their winning streak with a 2-0 triumph in the EFL Cup third round.
