Manchester City have several Premier League records in their sights when they host relegation-threatened Huddersfield on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Premier League from 12.30pm.
Having scored 12 goals in their last three games, champions City are one goal away from equalling Chelsea's Premier League record of 103 in a season.
Victory would also set a new record for highest number of points in a single top-flight season and would equal the all-time top-flight record of 31 wins in a single campaign.
Huddersfield, meanwhile, are battling relegation after losing four of their last seven games.
They are three points above the relegation zone and face a tough run-in as they follow their clash at Manchester City with a midweek trip to Chelsea and then a home game against Arsenal.
However, manager David Wagner said: "Everyone wants to play games like this. If we like to stay in the Premier League, the miracle we've been working on, then we have to collect points against these three teams.
"We are in a position at the minute where no one expected us. Everything is in our hands and we have to fight.
"I am absolutely confident that we have our chance. Nothing is better than having the feeling that we can decide what happens."
Huddersfield almost held Manchester City earlier in the season but a late goal from Raheem Sterling secured a 2-1 win.
Defenders Vincent Kompany and John Stones could both be back in contention for Manchester City.
Captain Kompany missed last week's victory at West Ham with a minor knock while England centre-back Stones has been troubled in recent weeks by an adductor problem.
City will check on right-back Kyle Walker (groin) but top scorer Sergio Aguero (knee) is out.
Tom Ince is a doubt for Huddersfield due to a hamstring injury, but Wagner says he should be available to face Chelsea if he does not play this weekend.
Michael Hefele has returned to training this week but Elias Kachunga and Danny Williams (both ankle) are out.
Man City have not won a home league meeting with Huddersfield since November 1987 (D1 L2), though this is the first such meeting since 1999. That victory in 1987 was 10-1 - to date the last time a side scored at least 10 goals in an English league match.
The Citizens have won 13 Premier League games by a margin of three or more goals this season - only two sides in top-flight history have won more in a single campaign; West Brom (16 in 1919-20) and Arsenal (14 in 1930-31).
Huddersfield have failed to score in 19 different Premier League games this season; Sunderland in 2016-17 were the last to do so in 20, while the record in the competition is 22 (Derby in 2007-08).
Raheem Sterling has scored 49 Premier League goals in his career - one more would make him the 11th player to reach 50 while under the age of 24 in the competition.
Gabriel Jesus has scored in his last four appearances for Man City in all competitions - the last player to score in five in a row for the club was Sergio Aguero, a run of six in April 2017.
I've watched Huddersfield in two out of their last four games and they're a nervous wreck. They don't know how to handle this situation as David Wagner only knows success.
Sometimes the game can go flat when you get the trophy but this Manchester City side are in the entertainment business and I think they'll wipe the floor with another team.
Charlie predicts: 5-0 (9/1 with Sky Bet)
