Six Man City youngsters who could earn call-ups for FA Cup vs Huddersfield
03.01.2024 - 18:13 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
After his game-changing cameo against Sheffield United, Oscar Bobb could earn another Manchester City start this weekend against Huddersfield in the FA Cup.
Bobb is a permanent fixture in the City first team squad these days, with Pep Guardiola admitting he wanted to start the Norwegian last weekend but ultimately decided to stick with Jack Grealish. 50 minutes in, with Grealish not making the impact he hoped, Bobb came on and proved vital in unlocking the defence and sealing three important points for City.
With an FA Cup clash up next to start 2024, Bobb could be one of many changes from Guardiola as the looks to rest some key players and ease others back in.

ALSO READ: Kevin De Bruyne position change could help Man City solve pressing no.10 dilemma
There is an argument to give Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez a final game at number ten and number nine before Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland come back, and give De Bruyne his first minutes since August in the second half. This is also an opportunity to rest Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Kyle Walker after a busy run, while Jack Grealish could drop to the bench after a difficult couple of weeks in his personal life.
Mateo Kovacic and Matheus Nunes are fine alternatives to hold the midfielder together, with Rico Lewis, Sergio Gomez and Stefan Ortega all likely to play. Kalvin Phillips would hope to start, but may not be risked if he is set for a January exit.
In defence, this could be a chance to test Josko Gvardiol in the centre, and then Manu Akanji can offer some experience. After that, there is a chance to use some academy players off the bench rather than other first-teamers.
