Man City Team News, Predicted Starting XI vs Swansea City

Man City striker Erling Haaland collided with the post in yesterday’s 1-0 loss at Aston Villa. While it was clear just how much pain he was in afterward, the big Norwegian played on. So he is most likely not injured. The only update provided by manager Pep Guardiola after the game was: “Hopefully he is fine.”

That all said, he wouldn’t feature in a fourth round EFL Cup clash anyway; especially so against a lower division side.

Nothing really to report here, the situation remains the same, with just Rodri, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Abdudokir Khusanov remaining being injury doubts here, just like they were ahead of the Villa match.

Everyone else is good to go and available for selection here. Given that Swansea City are in the Championship, and 13th at that, Pep will field a side that is far from his strongest.
