I make that five changes for Swansea from their big win over Norwich. Ex-City defender Joel Latibeaudiere comes in. As for City, that’s a verrrrrry strong side. Only four starters (Gundogan, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Sterling) from the filleting of Liverpool but that’s testament to what Pep Guardiola has available.
Swansea City: Woodman; Roberts, Cabango, Latibeaudiere, Guehi, Manning; Fulton, Grimes, Dhanda; Morris, Lowe. Subs: Webb, Naughton, Bennett, Freeman, Bidwell, Hourihane, Arriola, Ayew, Whittaker.
Manchester City: Steffen; Walker, Garcia, Laporte, Mendy; Rodri, Gundogan; Bernardo, Torres, Sterling; Jesus. Subs: Ederson, Stones, Zinchenko, Mahrez, Cancelo, Foden, Doyle, Gomes, Bernabe.
We go again. It’s FA Cup round five, night two – and a very nice-looking tie between All Conquering Swansea and All Conquering Manchester City.
The Swans sit third in the Championship, although they’d be in the top two if they won a game in hand. They’re a bit of a surprise package really but are playing some really tremendous stuff.
