Manchester City will be looking to extend their incredible winning form when they travel to take on Swansea City in the last 16 of the FA Cup. The match schedules for Wednesday at Liberty Stadium with kickoff at 10:30 pm.
The current Premier League leaders are on a 14 match winning streak across all competitions, though they face a potentially tricky test against in-form Swansea side.
City took a strong stance on their Premier League bid last weekend after a 4-1 thumping of reigning champions Liverpool. What made the win more historic was it was Pep’s first victory at Anfield. Two of Allison’s mistakes gave the three-way lead after a penalty miss by Ilkay Gundogan.
Pep Guardiola’s men conceded for the first time in seven league outings. However, the recent winning was an important one as the side moved five points above second-placed Manchester United with a game in hand.
City is current favorites to contest for their fifth Premier League title this past decade and remain favorites to clinch their seventh FA Cup win in their history.
However, they come face to face against an in-form Swansea side in the championship. The side currently sits one point off the automatic promotion zone thanks to a run of six wins and two draws in their last eight league outings. It is a much Pep must not take lightly.
