00:00Well, on that occasion, it's not a bad Manchester City side that comes out, though.
00:05They haven't exactly sent out a load of kids. We'll get to the team news shortly.
00:09The highly rated Alfie May are among those left on the bench.
00:13We think that they'll have an extra player in midfield.
00:15Northern Ireland's international Dion Charles returns to the front line changes,
00:19but it's not a rookie team.
00:20Nico O'Reilly and Phil Foden are the two who stay in from the Arsenal game.
00:24Erling Haaland has a sore back.
00:25They are in the blue and white.
00:28Five clubs from the Premier League have been dumped out of this competition
00:32by sides who play in lower divisions.
00:35Huddersfield will be hoping to add the name of Manchester City.
00:38Almost in a back six as Manchester City probe him and Harness back alongside the full-backs.
00:46Nico Lewis, who made the burst forward from a midfield position,
00:50which is apparently what he prefers to play in.
00:53Of course, we've seen him just about everywhere.
00:55There's your pass, it's 180 already completed by City.
01:00I wouldn't imagine it goes into four figures too frequently,
01:06but we may see that tonight.
01:11And they have a couple of big guys to come up as well.
01:14Corner goes towards the back post and it's won by the City player.
01:19I suppose these scenarios are the ones you expect the League One side to be able to.
01:33Foden turns, gets it back again.
01:35Now he shoots.
01:36What a goal, Phil Foden.
01:37Well, they had to be patient, but then they found their way through and the quality shone through.
01:46It was accurate, it was powerful and it was unstoppable.
01:49Springs to his left-hand side, but he's not going to stop by it.
01:52Arrows into the corner.
01:53Patient again from City.
01:55And then Foden just speeds up quick.
01:57One, two.
01:59With a young lad, Mikasa.
02:01And then a thrilling finish.
02:06Gets real pace on it and it's into the side net.
02:09And Nicholls is not going to get a touch on that, unfortunately for him.
02:13Foden turning away from him all the time and Foden just keeps on impressing.
02:22Yeah, the fans applaud the team off, but they'll want to see a little bit more attack and impetus, I'm sure.
02:27Well, the first half was illuminated by a little bit of Phil Foden magic.
02:3322-year-old and a player who would be thinking to go into the World Cup.
02:37So, an interesting situation that he finds himself in.
02:43And Savinho towards the edge of the penalty area, then he pulls the trigger and it was off the target.
02:56Just drew the attention of Vost who tracked him and it allowed that space to open up.
03:05O'Reilly to Savinho.
03:08Nico Gonzalez and O'Reilly breaks through.
03:11Here's an opportunity, really good save by Nicholls.
03:15Midfield.
03:16Look at the space and then he executes the pass inside Sorensen.
03:20Yeah.
03:21He's going to go for the intro.
03:23Ding.
03:24Read it.
03:26Really well.
03:27Redmond gets the ball through one way or another to Charles.
03:36Ellisfield have a free kick that's launched towards the penalty area and headed on.
03:40And it was an opportunity, it was a tough opportunity.
03:48Savinho to Foden.
03:50Outside of the boots he finds, Oscar Bob.
03:56Lunez, he gets inside of Redmond, this time Bob, and lifts his cross to the back post.
04:00Feeney's header will drop into the penalty area.
04:03Well struck by Mucasa.
04:05A few occasions he's been able to make inroads, gets to the byline, lovely stand-up.
04:10Perfectly positioned, really.
04:13Feeney deals with it excellently, but...
04:17Can only steer it towards a City player.
04:19A purchase on that, Mucasa.
04:20And here he goes again, the 18-year-old.
04:29Rowan puts it in close to the goal.
04:33You know he's going to be one of their more aggressive attacking the ball.
04:36He's completely un-martialed with...
04:39Gonzalez sees a little gap.
04:41They get vertically up the pitch quickly this time, City.
04:44And Oscar Bob pulls the trigger.
04:45Another good save by Lee Nicholls.
04:47I just wondered as to whether Hoden could drive there.
04:51Once he got turned on the ball, he's been waiting for an opportunity to find space.
04:55He'd found it there.
04:57And Lewis, I mean, they've essentially been the two players playing,
05:01I would say, unfamiliar roles, but they're both midfielders by trade, I believe.
05:04O'Reilly certainly.
05:05Too many opportunities to create or shoot.
05:14Savino.
05:15Savino.
05:17Work it to Nunez in the penalty area.
05:32He tries a shot.
05:34Then a little bit of pinball comes to Foden again.
05:38Now Savino.
05:38Can he get a shot away?
05:39Yes, he can.
05:40What a finish.
05:41What a goal.
05:41The quality has shone through.
05:44And Manchester City surely doing enough to go through.
05:50Well, it certainly felt like it's been coming.
05:53Beautiful goal in the first half.
05:54It actually could have been shifted a little bit quicker by Phil Foden.
05:58He takes a touch.
05:59Ricocheting around.
06:01Takes that touch.
06:02Savino's options.
06:03Savino's still got Sorensen to breach and the goalkeeper Nicholls, but it's pure power.
06:11Smashes it off the underside of the bar.
06:14It's a really good finish from Savino.
06:16He's looked in the mood since the break.
06:18And City now with that cushion.
06:20Surely for a safe passage into the next round.
06:23Niko Gonzalez being pursued by Rodulovic when he gets it through to Luis.
06:47Savino again.
06:49The penalty error again.
06:51Chops inside of Sway.
06:52Niko Gonzalez urged to shoot.
06:55There was power in that, but it was over the top.
07:00Now John Stones.
07:03Johnny Randers made the forward run again.
07:06Goes wide to Regan Heskey.
07:09Philips comes in.
07:24Isn't able to win the ball back.
07:25Sway can lead a counterattack now for Huddersfield Town.
07:30Rodulovic going through the middle.
07:31He goes wide to Cameron Aschier.
07:32Can he get a shot away?
07:34Yes, he can.
07:35He's so unlucky off the post.
07:37He comes back his way.
07:39And Huddersfield have gone close to making a game of it there.
07:42And Sway use it beautifully.
07:44And I think I'm right in saying that Aschier had this gone in.
07:48It was a carbon copy of the goal he got against Leicester in this competition a month or so ago.
07:53So this is clearly a strong suit coming infield on his right.
08:00Rowan.
08:04Back into the penalty area.
08:11Renders to Regan Heskey.
08:15He comes inside.
08:17Can he get a shot away?
08:18He can.
08:19And Nicholls gets down and beats it away.
08:21He uses that decoy run from Renders down the outside.
08:27And Nicholls comfortable powering it to safety.
08:34There's plenty of things to compliment his players on.
08:38They've put a lot of effort in.
08:38They've put a strong shift in.
08:39And they come up against a very, very good team.
08:42Ultimately, Manchester City had too much.
