Manchester City vs Swansea City - Match Preview

Team news ahead of Manchester City's trip to Wales this afternoon where they take on Swansea in the Premier League. Kick-off time is at 2pm at the Liberty Stadium and the match is being screened live in the UK on Sky Sports. Nathan Dyer begins his three-match suspension for his red card picked up in last weekend's victory at Wigan. Wayne Routledge will likely replace him wide out on the right. Defender Ashley Williams is expected to be fit as he battles to overcome his stomach bug. Andrea Orlandi will return soon from his hamstring tear but it has come too soon for today's game. Meanwhile Kemy Agustien will probably miss the rest of the year with an ankle injury. Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany picked up a calf injury in Thursday night's Europa League defeat at Sporting Lisbon. His injury looked serious and he could miss a number of games at City. Defenders Joleon Lescott and Micah Richards should start today, though right-back Pablo Zabaleta is missing with a hamstring injury. Controversial striker Carlos Tevez is still short of match fitness but could play some part for City soon as he gets more pitch time in for the reserves.
