Sitting at the 11th position on the Premier League table, Swansea host fourth-placed Man City at the Liberty Stadium in a match that will have a great impact on City’s Champions League ambition.
The Citizens need to beat the Swans in order cement their place at the fourth place and qualify for next season’s Champions League. If they win this fixture, they will secure a UCL spot and keep Man United out of the race.
However, they face a Swansea side that has been impressive lately, and it would take and extra effort to beat them especially when they are playing at home.
The Swans have won each of their last four games at home and have only conceded one goal during that process. In their last two games, they have also found the back of the net seven times, something that should give Manuel Pellegrini’s men a reason to worry.
As for bookies, they can expect more 2.5 goals scored in this fixture. And considering the fact that City are fighting for a Champions League spot and have no other competition to fight for this season, then they could name their strongest possible lineup, which is yet another reason to put your money on them.
