Swansea home preview

We need to win this game. This is no push over, Swansea did Liverpool in a couple of weeks ago at Anfield and they're playing a lot better than they were last year and at the beginning of the season. City need to play their game well and play for all the game and not switch off. City win games when they don't make mistakes. Mistakes happen when they are put under pressure so it is rather simple, break them down and score as quickly as possible. It happened on Wednesday night and I want to see it again. I wouldn't change the team but I think Pep will. Fernandinho may start, so Toure or Silva may drop out and I think Jesus may move out wide and Sane or Sterling will drop to the bench in favour of Aguero. Pep built him up well in his press conference this morning and it sounds like he will be starting. If so, Sterling to drop out as I think Swansea will defend and sit tight so skill will be needed. Sane and Jesus possess that, Raheem not so much. Pace won't work in this match so Pep will change it. A shame as that front 3 of Sane, Sterling and Jesus was amazing on Wednesday. So good, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong here and Pep sticks out the same team. Vinnie may feature. Swansea, I think Llorente and Sigurdsson are their threats to goal. Narsingh is quick, if he features then his pace will cause City's high line problems. But City look good so I'm hopeful the team will do well. I just don't think the game will be straight forward. I'll go for 2-1, I think Swansea will score. City are not great at home when defending. Caballero will probably make it in goal (right call), but I think Swansea will score. They're quick, accurate and good in the air, surely they will score?? That's everything City's defence hate. I believe in the lads though. C'mon City. 

Team prediction: 

Caballero, Sagna, Kolarov, Stones, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Toure, De Bruyne, Aguero, Sane, Jesus.
