Swansea City vs Manchester City Match Betting Preview

Swansea City and Manchester City will be locking horns against each other for the second time in just three days and the match on Saturday should prove to be a competitive encounter.

Swansea City Match Betting News

Swansea City understandably handed Francesco Guidolin a new contract over the summer after the Italian guided the Swans to safety with relative ease last season.

However, the current campaign has proven to be a tumultuous one for Swansea and if reports are to be believed, Guidolin is on the verge of being sacked by the club.

Guidolin certainly deserves a bit more time to turn things around but the nature of the English game at the moment is ruthless and the 60-year-old could well receive his marching orders if Swansea fail to earn a result against rampant Manchester City on Saturday.

Nathan Dyer is the only injury concern for Swansea ahead of the clash but the host of first team regulars rested in the EFL Cup encounter in midweek should feature this weekend.

Manchester City Match Betting News

In complete contrast to Swansea, Manchester City have enjoyed a stunning start to the season under Pep Guardiola and the Spaniard guided the Citizens to their ninth consecutive victory with a 2-1 triumph over Swansea in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.

Now the Citizens prepare to face the same opponents in the Premier League on Saturday and one can be certain that Guardiola will be demanding nothing less than three points from the encounter this time around as well.

Fabian Delph, Vincent Kompany and David Silva are rated as doubts ahead of the clash while Nolito will not be available due to suspension.

Swansea City vs Manchester City Match Prediction

Manchester City have not lost in their last nine consecutive encounters against Swansea City and it looks very likely that the Citizens will be able to continue their dominant form over the Swans on Saturday as well.

City are in brilliant form at the moment while Swansea are going through a lot of problems and a comfortable away victory should be on the cards from the encounter.
