Guardiola wary of unpredictable Terriers
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says his side will have to adapt to whatever Huddersfield Town throw their way, as they prepare to face the managerless West Yorkshire outfit this weekend.
Town decided to part company with manager David Wagner after a difficult start to the season and now the Terriers are in the hunt for a new man to try and turn the club's fortunes around.
Guardiola knows his side could be up against a new-look Huddersfield side when they meet at the John Smith's Stadium on Sunday and his players will have to be ready for whatever comes their way.
He said: "It's a little bit of a problem really because we don't know. Even when you have just one game for a manager you can have an idea.
"Of course we have some info about what he's done at the under-23 (level), but it's completely different.
"We don't know how he will play, what system, whether they will play long or short balls, whether they will go four in the back, five in the back, one striker or two strikers, high pressing or low pressing we don't know anything exactly.
"We will have to immediately adapt after five or 10 minutes. The players will have to understand exactly what is going to happen with the game and adapt as quickly as possible."
City are 1/7 to win, 8/1 to draw and 22/1 to lose against Huddersfield.
