Swansea host Manchester City looking to cause a shock in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

The hosts have made a mixed start to the Championship season and have entertained in this competition, scoring twice in stoppage time to knock out Nottingham Forest and set up this tie after surviving a penalty shootout against Plymouth to progress from the second round.

They will hope to trouble a Manchester City side bidding to bounce back from a disappointing performance at Aston Villa that saw them draw a blank.

Pep Guardiola is likely to rotate his team as he targets a last-eight place.
