79'

78'
Substitution
Scott Malone (on). Chris Lowe (off). (Huddersfield Town)
78'
MALONE FOR LOWE
Great interception! Chris Lowe stretches to intercept a dangerous Leroy Sane throughball. The German then goes down with cramp, and Scott Malone is going to replace him.
77'

76'
Yellow Card
Chris Lowe (Huddersfield Town)
74'

73'
CITY PRESSURE

67'
Substitution

67'

The frustration is getting worse and worse for City here as Gabriel Jesus is penalised for jumping into Tommy Smith. Smith is then booked for time wasting from the resulting free-kick.
7'

Great save! Jonas Lossl has to be alert at his near post to prevent David Silva from opening the scoring after he went in one-on-one with the Huddersfield goalkeeper.
66'
Yellow Card
Tommy Smith (Huddersfield Town)
66'
ROARED ON
The Huddersfield Town supporters have been immense today, providing the lift their team need. Mathias Jorgensen hits the deck after being on the end of an accidental boot from Nicolas Otamendi but he's fine to carry on.
90'
FULL-TIME REPORT
Huddersfield Town spoiled the Manchester City party and boosted their survival hopes by grinding out a 0-0 draw at the Etihad Stadium. On the day City are to get their hands on the Premier League trophy, they were expected to put several goals past the Terriers. But David Wagner's men put in a masterful backline performance, limiting the champions to few chances and even going close themselves at the other end. Huddersfield, the first team to stop City scoring on their own turf in the league this season, will go into the final day outside of the bottom three.
90'
FULL-TIME WHISTLE
And that's it! It finishes Manchester City 0 Huddersfield Town 0.
90'
OTAMENDI WIDE
Nicolas Otamendi curls just wide with his right foot from just inside the box in what must be City's last chance.
90'
KONGOLO CHALLENGE
Terence Kongolo times his tackle perfectly to stop a marauding run through the heart of the defence by Leroy Sane. Brilliant!
90'
MALONE CHANCE
Blimey! Scott Malone robs Kyle Walker inside the Manchester City half before driving towards goal. His eventual shot from inside the box is, though, straight at Ederson. At the other end, Jonas Lossl manages to adjust his feet to claim a Bernardo Silva cross.
90'
FOUR ADDED MINUTES
There will be four added minutes here. Huddersfield are nearly there!
63'
HARDWORKING TERRIERS

Substitution
Laurent Depoitre (on). Steve Mounie (off). (Huddersfield Town)
60'
DEPOITRE FOR MOUNIE
Nicolas Otamendi slides a pass into Kevin De Bruyne down the left side of the penalty box but his pullback is cut out by the Huddersfield defence. Just after, Steve Mounie is replaced by Laurent Depoitre for the Terriers.
58'
MENDY FOR DELPH
Manchester City make the first substitution of the afternoon, introducing the fit-again Benjamin Mendy in place of Fabian Delph.
57'
Substitution

52'
CITY POSSESSION
Manchester City have had plenty of possession in the opening stages of the second period but haven't created any chances as yet.
49'
IMPROVEMENT NEEDED
Manchester City will need to improve in this second half but you'd expect them to score with the talent that is out there on the pitch.
46'
BACK UNDERWAY
We're back underway at the Etihad. Can Manchester City break down this dogged Huddersfield side? No changes for either team at the interval.
45'
HALF-TIME REPORT
Manchester City have been frustrated by Huddersfield Town in the first 45 minutes at the Etihad Stadium, with the game goalless. The visitors, battling against the drop, haven't read the script and have limited City to few chances. David Wagner's men have had opportunities themselves too, with Ederson having to deny both Florent Hadergjonaj and Alex Pritchard. The Terriers are 45 minutes away from a priceless point.
5'
DE BRUYNE CORNER
Manchester City win the first corner kick of the match as Christopher Schindler heads behind a Raheem Sterling delivery. Kevin De Bruyne delivers the set piece into the box but the visitors clear.
45'
HALF-TIME WHISTLE
And that's half time. it's Manchester City 0 Huddersfield Town 0.
42'
CITY CAMPED
Manchester City are camped inside the final third as Huddersfield try to hang on until half time. If they do so, it will be a magnificent achievement for David Wagner's side.
40'
JESUS HEADER
Kyle Walker gets forward and clips a cross into the penalty box but Gabriel Jesus can't hit the target with a header from six yards out, the ball coming off the top of his head.
37'
DE BRUYNE DRIVE

34'
CITY OFF-COLOUR
Manchester City haven't been at their scintillating best so far this afternoon. Pep Guardiola will be scratching his head and considering how to change things.
31'
LOWE WIDE
Huddersfield Town come right back at City! Alex Pritchard crosses and the hosts can only half-clear as far as Aaron Mooy 20 yards out. He gives the ball to Chris Lowe but he slashes wide of the near post.
30'
LOSSL STOP
Manchester City are upping the tempo now. This time, Kevin De Bruyne stabs across the box but Jonas Lossl parries away and Chris Lowe smashes away.
28'
JESUS PULLBACK
Gabriel Jesus has his first hint of an opening after a quiet start. He tries to square the ball to Raheem Sterling in the box but puts his pass behind his team mate.
25'
FLAT CROWD
There was a carnival atmosphere before this game here at the Etihad but the crowd has gone very flat in the last 15 minutes.
22'
PRITCHARD CLOSE
Close! Alex Pritchard lets fly from 25 yards out but his dipping effort is tipped wide by Ederson.
21'
BOLD DEFENDING
Huddersfield Town have actually been the better team in the last five to ten minutes as Manchester City try to adjust their style of play. Few teams have defended against City so boldly this season.
18'
TERRIERS PRESS
Huddersfield Town are doing a good job of frustrating Manchester City so far, pressing high up the pitch and forcing the hosts into errors. Maybe the result won't be such a foregone conclusion this afternoon.
15'
DE BRUYNE SHOT
Manchester City flood forward now as Leroy Sane pulls the ball back from the byline but Kevin De Bruyne's left-footed effort is curled just wide.
13'
HADERGJONAJ DENIED
Alex Pritchard is the focus for Huddersfield again as he finds the unmarked Florent Hadergjonaj in the box from a free-kick. Ederson manages to save from his low strike.
12'
MOOY WIDE
Alex Pritchard looks to be Huddersfield Town's most likely source of inspiration this afternoon. He sets up Aaron Mooy but the Australian's long-range effort whizzes wide from 20 yards.
10'
TERRIERS UNSCATHED
David Wagner will be delighted that his team have got through the first 10 minutes unscathed but it looks like Manchester City are in the mood this afternoon.
4'
STERLING BRIGHT
As you'd expect, it's Manchester City who start on the front foot as David Silva attempts to slide in Raheem Sterling but puts too much on his pass.
1'
WE'RE OFF
We're underway at the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City chase all the records and Huddersfield battle for anything they can get to help in their fight against the drop.
0'
CONFIRMED TEAMS

MATCH PREVIEW
Manchester City will get their hands on the Premier League trophy on Sunday afternoon – but they must first face relegation-threatened Huddersfield Town at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola's side have blown away the competition this season and their last three matches will just be about beating the records. City need three more points to beat Chelsea's Premier League highest points tally and just two more goals to become in highest scorers in a single campaign. If they do beat Huddersfield, it would be a 31st victory of the season; that would equal the all-time highest number of wins currently held by the 1960/61 Tottenham Hotspur side. But while City chase the numbers, the visitors are in need of the points for much more dingy reasons. Huddersfield are just three points above the drop zone with three matches remaining, but their last three opponents of the campaign are City, Chelsea and Arsenal. A point today would be monumental for David Wagner's men, but avoiding a major goal difference hammering could be the next best achievement.
