Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany sidelined with groin injury

City have won every game since Guardiola took charge in the off-season, earning a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League table after six matches.

In the absence of Aguero, Nigeria global Kelechi Iheanacho has filled the void brilliantly, netting two goals and two assists. I know him, I know he’s a good, good guy, but the list is the list. We’re going to wait for the results from the doctors.

“If Manchester City win the Champions League then I will travel to London and say before the television cameras that Pep Guardiola is the best coach in the world”.

“The way he reacted, it looked like muscular, but I am not a doctor, fortunately”. They started really well.

Goals from Gael Clichy and a first in City colours for Aleix Garcia had given Guardiola’s men a commanding advantage at the Liberty Stadium, with Gylfi Sigurdsson’s stoppage time effort coming too late for Swansea. We attacked their central defenders, but we missed the last pass many times.

Guardiola, who has primed his side for the clash by staying in Newport’s plush Celtic Manor following the EFL Cup clash in midweek while training at the FAW’s development training centre, Dragon Park, said: “It will be a different game to Wednesday because now we know each other”.

Guardiola has delved deep into his squad over the last few days, making nine changes for Wednesday’s game, but most of those who figured in last Saturday’s 4-0 Premier League win over Bournemouth are likely to be restored.

Speculation continues to rage about Guidolin’s future, but he straight-batted post-match questions.

I’m the manager and I’m going to decide. “They had a very good team, even if they played without some players, but on Saturday there will be new important players here”.

“I have not spoken to the chairman”.

Agent Dimitri Seluk has further hindered Toure’s cause after publicly criticising Guardiola and accusing him of treating the club’s players “like dogs”.

“Before the penalty, we had the chance to score and we deserved to score”.
