Match facts
- Swansea have notoriously struggled against Man City, having won only one of their last 12 meetings (D2, L9).
- That sole victory came back in March 2012 courtesy of a 1-0 home win.
- The Citizens, on the other hand, are notorious for finding the back of the net vs. the Swans, having scored 15 in their last six English Premier League encounters.
- It’s only been three days since these two sides met in round three of the League Cup. Pep Guardiola’s boys won that game 2-1.
- The Spanish tactician boasts a 100 percent record, winning all five games as Man City boss.
- Francesco Guidolin’s side have only one win from their opening games, though (D1, L3).
Guardiola one win away from matching Ancelotti’s record
No manager has performed better in the English Premier League since Pep Guardiola took over at the Etihad than the Spaniard himself.
Five games with the Citizens have produced as many victories, including a memorable 2-1 victory at Old Trafford in the Manchester derby.
The only other Man City manager to win the opening five games of a season was the man whom Guardiola replaced, Manuel Pellegrini.
Victory on Saturday will see the former Bayern Munich boss set a club record. Pep can also go level with a league record held by Carlo Ancelotti and his Chelsea side of 2009.
The Italian boss holds the record after winning his first six games with the Blues. No other manager has won more opening games, but Guardiola can match that feat.
Everything points to a win for the Citizens. Vincent Kompany and Nolito remain unavailable through injury and suspension, respectively. Nonetheless, Man City will welcome back Sergio Aguero to the squad.
Borja Baston, Swansea’s £15m club-record signing, looks destined to start. Nonetheless, the Swans poor run of form means another defeat is (most likely) on the horizon.
