Swansea faces Manchester City at Liberty Stadium on Saturday, September 24. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Swansea City hosts undefeated Manchester City four days after falling 2-1 to the league leaders in an EFL cup tie. The Swans are looking to get their season in gear after earning just a point from their last four league matches.
Results have disappointed, though the difficult early-season schedule always threatened to prove a stumbling block out of the gates. Of greater concern in Wales has been the team’s consistent lackluster performances and the inconsistent tactics of manager Francesco Guidolin.
The hope is Swansea builds on their strong midweek showing in the EFL Cup, when Borja Bason debuted, Leon Britton excelled and Gylfi Sigurdsson scored. Modou Barrow is recovered from stomach pains and Jefferson Montero is expected to play.
Manchester City aims to make it 10 wins from their opening 10 matches, already the best start in their history. Still, a win in Wales is never a given, and City will want to take all three points given their future run of five out of six fixtures versus Celtic, Everton, Tottenham, Barcelona and an EFL Cup derby against Manchester United.

Sergio Aguero returns from a three-game suspension for striking West Ham defender Winston Reid. Aguero has six goals in five games in all competitions this year, but has never scored at Liberty Stadium. Impressive teenage striker Kelechi Iheanacho figures to help spearhead the attack after recently notching a goal and assist at Old Trafford, a Champions League goal versus Borussia Monchengladbach.
With Leroy Sane and Ilkay Gundogan still working their way into fitness and Nolito suspended for headbutting AFC Bournemouth’s Adam Smith, Iheanacho, the Nigerian Nightmare, will look to continue his ascent from prodigy to established star.
