Swansea City Preview – Can the Swans shock the Premier League leaders?
Steve Cooper’s Swansea City are riding high in the Championship at present. The Swans, who finished sixth last term, occupy third place in the second-tier table, collecting an impressive 53 points from 27 league games.
Cooper’s men are in excellent form, winning eight and drawing two of ten since a 2-0 league loss at Derby County before Christmas. Swansea warmed up for this one with a superb 2-0 home win over league leaders Norwich City last Friday night.
In the fourth round of the FA Cup, Swansea stunned fellow Championship side Nottingham Forest, sealing a big 5-1 win at the Liberty Stadium. Young Liam Cullen was the hero, netting twice in the romp. Prior to that, goals from Wayne Routledge and Viktor Gyokeres gave the Welsh side a 2-0 win at EFL League Two outfit Stevenage in round three.
Manchester City Preview – Citizens too strong for the Championship Swans?
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City have been in devastating form over the last couple of months or so. Since back-to-back league draws with Manchester United and West Bromwich Albion back in December, City have won a staggering 14 league and cup games on the bounce.
The Citizens have not lost since a 2-0 reverse at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a Premier League fixture way back in November. Last weekend, Man City thumped Liverpool 4-1 at Anfield to move five points clear at the top.
