Match Details: August 13, 2025 | Accu Stadium | EFL Cup | 19:45 (BST)

The Kirklees Stadium is the venue for an exciting EFL Cup encounter this Wednesday as Huddersfield Town welcome Leicester City. Huddersfield will be buoyed by their strong start to the season and the momentum from their recent promotion, hoping to cause an upset against a Leicester side widely tipped for promotion back to the Premier League. The Foxes, however, will be eager to assert their dominance and begin their cup run with a victory. Leicester's recent head-to-head record against Huddersfield is exceptional, with a string of wins in their past encounters. While the home crowd will be vociferous, Leicester's superior squad depth and quality are likely to prove too much for the Terriers. Our prediction is for a 3-0 victory for Leicester City, showcasing their attacking power and title ambitions.
