City will go into the meeting worth the managerless Swans full of confidence despite being without Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany.
If results go their way, City could leapfrog both Leicester and Arsenal to go top of the table for 24 hours at least.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men lost out to Stoke last weekend, but having put four past Borussia Monchengladbach during the week they will be brimming with confidence once again with an eye on top spot.
See how we think they’ll line up below…

GK: Joe Hart
Over his flaky scalp problems from last week, he’ll be looking for a clean sheet this time around.
RB: Bacary Sagna
Still deputising for the injured Pablo Zabaleta, but his current form has merited a place regardless.
CB: Nicolas Otamendi
Still finding his best form in the Premier League, but stands as good a chance as any of helping his side keep a clean sheet against the lacklustre Swans front line.
CB: Martin Demichelis
There’s life in the old dog yet, as he continues to deputise for the injured Vincent Kompany.
LB: Aleksandar Kolarov
Arguably City’s best defensive player at the moment, though he also carries a goal threat.
CM: Fernando
City’s prime operator through the middle.
CM: Fernandinho
Fernando’s partner in crime and the man charged with breaking down opposition attacks.
RAM: Raheem Sterling
Having started the season well, this will be the perfect opportunity for him to boost his goal tally.
LAM: David Silva
After his run out over the past week, City will be hoping that he is finally back to full fitness.
AM: Kevin de Bruyne
The Belgian is proving Chelsea were wrong to let him go, and could prove a valuable goal threat in the absence of Aguero.
ST: Wilfried Bony
Bony has struggled for form so far this term, but there’s no more ideal time than to get your confidence back than with a goal against your former club.
