Manchester City v Swansea Betting Preview – Premier League 5th February 1.30pm
The Citizens have been up, down and all over the place lately, but after taking a great win on the road at West Ham in the week, they can look to make it back to back top flight wins as they play host to the relegation-threatened Swansea on Sunday. The Swans though have started gathering some momentum for themselves under Paul Clement and have managed to fight their way out of the drop zone with some good results. But going to the Etihad and getting something on the board is going to be massively difficult task for the Welsh outfit.

Manchester City v Swansea Betting Tips
The Citizens need a bit of a boost as they have gone pretty patchy lately in the top flight with a W2 D1 L2 record on the board in their last five. Their home form reads W3 D4 L1 in their last eight Premier League home games, which isn’t good enough to mount a title challenge with. But what they showed in a 4-0 win at West Ham in midweek, is just how good of a side they can be. Even with Sergio Aguero on the bench. The Citizens ran out 4-0 winners and that leaves them with a good chance to land back to back top flight wins. The Citizens hold a W6 D4 L1 record at home this season overall and they have averaged a little under two goals per game on home soil, which is a bit surprising that it hasn’t been more. 64% of their home games this season have gone over 2.5 goals and over 2.5 goals at Coral for this one is a price of 2/5 so you can consider pushing the goal line to over 3.5 for 10/11.
Earlier in the season, City took a 3-1 win at the Liberty Stadium against the Swans and the Citizens have lost just one of their eleven previous Premier League games against the Swans (W8 D2) and are unbeaten in their last nine against them. City have won each of their five Premier League home games against the Welsh club, scoring 12 and conceding just the two. Sergio Aguero did net a couple against the Swans earlier in the season and it will be interesting to see if he gets a start. He is an 8/13 anytime goalscorer option with the impressive Gabriel Jesus the same mark. Jesus netted a brace on his first Premier League start in midweek against the Hammers. Yaya Toure has four goals in his last six against Swansea in the league too. City have won only two of their last 12 league games on a Sunday, but are strong favourites here on home soil.
Swansea are on a two match winning streak away from home and only once before have they won three in a row out on the road in the Premier League. Paul Clement has won three of his four league games in charge of Swansea then and that is as many as Swansea won in their first 19 games of the season. So the new boss is having a major impact, however, they don’t have form to back them at the Etihad. Swansea haven’t won in the league at Man City since 1951, losing all ten visits since then. Overall this season, Swansea have posted a W3 D1 L7 record away from home and they have conceded at an average of over two goals per game. Options for them in the anytime goalscorer market are Fernando Llorente at 3/1 and the reliable Gylfi Sigurdsson at 7/2. It may well be worth looking a both teams to score with Coral at a price of 10/11 in this one and there is a quote of 9/1 on a Man City 2-1 correct score, which has been the result in the last two meetings between the two clubs at the Etihad.

Manchester City v Swansea Predictions
You would have to roll with the Citizens in this one, even though their form has been patchy. They showed against West Ham just how devastating brilliant they can be when they are on their game. The Swansea defence isn’t likely to hold out for 90 minutes at the Etihad, but it is worth having a shot at both teams to score in the game and probably in following the trend of a 2-1 correct score turning up for the Citizens.
