Sterling looking to continue blistering form

Raheem Sterling was superb for City in the opening half of the season but he only scored three Premier League goals in as many months after the turn of the year.

However, he's been outstanding in recent weeks, notching three goals and six assists in his last six top-flight appearances, taking his overall tally for the season to 23 goals and 17 assists in 44 appearances.

He'll be confident of boosting those figures against Huddersfield, the team he scored a memorable late winner against in the reverse fixture back in November.

Records galore on City's horizon

A simple 2-0 win for City will be enough to break three Premier League records this weekend: most goals in a 38-game season, most wins in a 38-game season and most points won in a 38-game season.

Pep Guardiola's men currently sit on 30 wins for the campaign - the same amount of victories Chelsea clocked up last term, while they have 93 points - two short of Chelsea's 2004-05 record, and 102 goals - just one off Chelsea's record amount of 103 from 2009-10.

The odds are stacked in City's favour to shatter all three records this weekend but even if they don't they'll surely manage it over the final two games of the season.

Jesus on goal trail

Gabriel Jesus has scored in his last four appearances for City - a record for the young Brazilian striker - and he'll be looking to continue his fine form at the Etihad with the Argentine Sergio Aguero still sidelined with a knee injury.

Jesus, 21, was a menace in the ultimately title-deciding win over Spurs at Wembley last month and goals in comfortable victories over Swansea and West Ham have since followed.

He's set to spearhead City's attack with the rejuvenated Sterling and Leroy Sane flanking him.

You get the sense that it won't be an easy afternoon's work for Huddersfield's defenders.

Huddersfield scrapping for their lives

The relegation-threatened Terriers are in poor form having won just one of their last seven Premier League games, scoring only two goals in that period.

David Wagner's side now sit just three points above the drop zone with a torrid three-game run-in comprising of games against City, Chelsea and Arsenal to come.

One win will likely guarantee top-flight survival but it's tough to see that coming this weekend in what, on paper, is their most difficult game of the season.

City to finally get their hands on the prize

City sealed the title last month but skipper Vincent Kompany has had to wait to get his hands on the trophy he has lifted twice before.

However, that wait will come to an end this weekend when the Belgian lifts the trophy aloft for a third time in seven seasons.

It's been pretty clear since December's emphatic derby win at Old Trafford that this is how the season would end up, but that lengthy sense of inevitability won't make the taste of lifting the trophy any less sweet for City's iconic captain.
