SWANSEA v MANCHESTER CITY BETTING PREVIEW

Swansea have pulled well clear of relegation and their recent home form is impressive including wins over Liverpool and Chelsea and last weekend they thrashed West Ham 4-1 at Upton Park and they sit comfortably in 11th in the league table. They have conceded just three goals in their last seven Premier League home games. Italian manager Francesco Guidolin has posted a hugely impressive W8-D3-L5 record through 16 league fixtures in charge of the South Wales club, a record that has earned Guidolin a new two-year deal at the Liberty Stadium.

Guidolin has given those that will be involved at Euro 2016 time off, which means Gylfi Sigurdsson, Ashley Williams and Lukasz Fabianski will not be involved. Kristoffer Nordfeldt could make a Premier League debut between the sticks. Modou Barrow, Andrè Ayew and Wayne Routled are expected to lead the line in a 4-3-3 formation. Jefferson Montero and Alberto Paloschi remain doubts due to hamstring injuries.

Manchester City settled to a 2-2 draw with fellow contender Arsenal at their own Etihad Stadium last Sunday. The Citizens have only won five of their last 13 league matches, they dropped to fourth place in the league table, three points behind the Gunners, but they are still just ahead of rivals Man United. Anything less than a point could be a disaster as The Red Devils, at home to Bournemouth, are just two points adrift.

Captain Vincent Kompany, Pablo Zabaleta and David Silva will miss the trip to the Liberty Stadium while left back Aleksandar Kolarov is a fitness doubt. Nasri could challenge Jesus Navas for a start down the right flank, Yaya Toure may be used in the number ten role, with Kevin de Bruyne stationed on the left of the attacking midfield trio behind lone striker Sergio Aguero. Fernandinho and Fernando look set to continue at the base of midfield

Manchester City have won six and lost none of the last seven Premier League encounters with Swansea. Sergio Aguero has scored in six Premier League games in a row, his longest ever run in the competition, and he is eyeing the golden boot prize as he sits one goal behind Harry Kane (25) ahead of the final day.
