England 🏴 EFL Cup

Huddersfield vs Leicester
Leicester’s depth, experience, and overall quality should edge them past a motivated Huddersfield side.
Huddersfield’s early momentum, home advantage, and cup hunger could make them dangerous—especially if they rise to the occasion.
Expect both sides to rotate heavily, fielding fringe players or academy hopefuls, which adds an unpredictability factor.
Scoreline Guess: Huddersfield 1–2 Leicester
How It Might Play Out: Leicester control possession and threats from set-pieces or individual quality. Huddersfield push high and create chances but ultimately fall short. Expect goals, some nervy moments, and perhaps a surprise—just not a shock.
Huddersfield’s momentum – They’ve scored 5 goals in 2 games this season, both clean-sheet wins, so confidence in attack is high.
Huddersfield will be at the John Smith’s Stadium, and cup ties often energise the home crowd enough to produce at least one goal.
Leicester’s attacking depth – Even rotated, they can field players like Patson Daka, Marc Albrighton, or Wanya Marçal who can break through League One defences.
