We're off! It's Huddersfield who get us underway.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of today’s Premier League game between Manchester City and Huddersfield Town at the Etihad Stadium.
It’s very early days, of course, but Huddersfield fans may already be feeling worried about the season ahead. The Terriers were thumped by Chelsea in their opening game of the campaign, and while they were always going to struggle - which is likely to be the case again today - limited activity in the transfer window means it could end up being a long season for David Wagner’s men.
Despite the obvious gulf between the two teams, Huddersfield actually proved to be tough opponents for City last season. The reverse fixture, which, admittedly, was played after the hosts had wrapped up the title, finished 0-0, and it took a late Raheem Sterling goal for City to get the better of their opponents at the John Smith’s Stadium back in November.
There’s just over 15 minutes left to go until kick-off, so let’s have a look at how the two teams will be lining up this afternoon…
Manchester City XI (3-4-1-2): Ederson; John Stones, Vincent Kompany, Aymeric Laporte; Fernandinho, Ilkay Gundogan, David Silva, Benjamin Mendy; Bernardo Silva; Gabriel Jesus, Sergio Aguero.
Huddersfield Town substitutes: Jonas Lossl, Adama Diakhaby, Ramadan Sobhi, Rajiv van La Parra, Isaac Mbenza, Danny Williams, Laurent Depoitre.
Huddersfield Town XI (5-4-1): Ben Hamer; Tommy Smith, Jon Stankovic, Christopher Schindler, Terence Kongolo, Chris Lowe; Florian Hadergjonaj, Alex Pritchard, Philip Billing, Abdelhamid Sabiri; Steve Mounie.
Manchester City substitutes: Claudio Bravo, Kyle Walker, Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, Riyad Mahrez, Nicolas Otamendi, Phil Foden.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield boss Wagner has also made three alterations to the team that featured on the opening weekend, with Mathias Jorgensen, Aaron Mooy and Jonathan Hogg making way for Smith, Stankovic and Sabiri.
Guardiola has decided to make three changes to the City side that started the win against Arsenal, with Kompany, David Silva and Jesus coming into the starting line-up to replace Walker, Mahrez and Sterling. It looks as if they’re going to operate with a three-man defence.
The two sides are making their way out onto the pitch, with just a few minutes to go until kick-off.
This afternoon sees Pep Guardiola’s side take part in their first home game as Premier League champions, and after such a fantastic campaign, the challenge this time is to improve on last season and become the first undefeated team since Arsenal in 2004. If their first two competitive fixtures are anything to go by, they could end up making that a reality.
City already managed to easily brush aside both Chelsea and Arsenal, and they’ll be feeling confident about their chances of doing the same again today. Kevin De Bruyne’s injury, which could keep him out for two months, is a big blow, but the talent in Guardiola’s ranks means he has plenty of equally impressive players to call on.
City were frustrated by Huddersfield's hard-working defenders during the opening 25 minutes, but they finally found a way through thanks to Aguero and since then it's been largely one-way traffic. They've dazzled every time they've had the ball at their feet, and it would take something special from the visitors to stop them scoring again after the break.
It's been an incredibly difficult game for Huddersfield so far, but the goal scored by Stankovic has given them a little bit of hope heading into the second half. City were poor defensively during the build-up, and it's presented the Terriers with a slim chance of getting back into the game.
The two teams are making their way back out on to the pitch ahead of the start of the second half.
To say that victory was emphatic is a bit of an understatement, as City were on top from start to finish and leave with three more points comfortably under their belts. Huddersfield kept them at bay for 25 minutes but fell apart as soon as Aguero fired the hosts into the lead, and from then onwards it never looked as if there was any way back for them.
The defeat leaves Huddersfield at the bottom of the table after two tough opening games, and they'll be desperate to bounce back against newly promoted Cardiff next weekend. As for City, they're in action against Wolves and will be feeling confident about their chances of winning again at Molineux.
