Manchester City will clash heads with Swansea City at the Swansea.com Stadium on Wednesday night as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Mancunian club suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa last weekend, so they would be keen on securing a victory in midweek.
Pep Guardiola could opt for the 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a lot of changes to his first team for this game. Omar Marmoush will get a chance to lead the line for Man City up top, while Erling Haaland makes way for him and drops to the bench.
4-3-3 Manchester City Predicted Lineup To Face Swansea City
Defence
Stefan Ortega will feature in goal for the Mancunian giants as he looks to secure a clean sheet this Wednesday night. John Stones will operate alongside Nathan Ake at the centre of Guardiola’s defence as they look to keep a good shape on the defensive end of the field.
Rico Lewis will try to catch the eye as the right-back, while Josko Gvardiol looks to prove his worth on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will hope to go forward and express themselves in the final third.
Ruben Dias and Matheus Nunes will be rested on the bench as they provide cover for the defensive positions.
Midfield
Kalvin Phillips, Mateo Kovacic and Phil Foden will make up Man City‘s midfield. Their main focus would be to establish their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park and engineer some clear-cut chances in the final third.
Bernardo Silva and Tijjani Reijnders will be named on the bench as they await their chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Oscar Bobb will try to give a good account of himself on the right flank, while Rayan Cherki looks to make a difference as the left-sided wide player.
Omar Marmoush will spearhead Guardiola’s attack up top. He would be eager to get his name on the scoresheet against Swansea in midweek.
Erling Haaland will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the contest if needed.
