West Bromwich Albion take on Huddersfield Town on Saturday in what will be the first league meeting between the sides since April 2001, with the only encounter in the sixteen years in between being a third round FA Cup tie at the then-named Galpharm Stadium in 2010.
Unsurprisingly, Albion surrendered their unbeaten home record to the table-toppers and extended their winless league run to eight games.
Pep Guardiola brings his Manchester City side to the Hawthorns on Saturday for the second time looking to extend a seven match winning streak in the league that has seen City score an astonishing 27 goals.
