Match Preview
For Swansea City, this is a massive opportunity to test themselves against one of Europe’s elite sides. Manager Luke Williams will likely set up his team defensively, hoping to frustrate City and strike on the counter through players like Jamal Lowe and Jerry Yates.
Manchester City, meanwhile, are expected to rotate their lineup, giving chances to young talents such as Oscar Bobb, Rico Lewis, and James McAtee, while veterans like Jack Grealish and Julián Álvarez provide experience. The reigning champions will still bring quality and attacking intent, even with changes.
Expect City to dominate possession and territory, but Swansea’s home crowd could make this a spirited contest.
