Swansea vs Man City - Team News, Match Preview & Likely Line-Ups

libertystadiumVenue: Liberty Stadium Date: Saturday, 4th May K/o: 15:00 BST

Team News

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup is unlikely to make too many changes to the side that lost 2-0 to Chelsea last weekend. Neil Taylor made an appearance from the bench in that game to complete his comeback from a lengthy spell on the sidelines and he could start in place of Ben Davies. Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is however expected to ring the changes for Saturday's visit to Wales. Matija Nastasic is expected to replace Joleon Lescott while James Milner and Javi Garcia are both pushing for starts. Sergio Aguero is expected to keep his place in spite of the upcoming FA Cup Final with Wigan Athletic.

Key Stats

Swansea City have failed to win any of their last six league matches, losing four and drawing two. Man City have only lost five games in the league this season, just one more than United.
