Manchester City v Swansea City: match preview Manchester City (possible, 4-2-3-1): Hart; Richards, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy; Y Touré, Barry; Nasri, Balotelli, Sinclair; Agüero. Out: Rodwell, Silva (both hamstring), Javi Garcia (thigh), Maicon (foot), Milner (suspended). Test: Y Touré (shin). Swansea City (possible, 4-5-1): Vorm; Rangel, Chico, Williams, Davies; de Guzman, Routledge, Britton, Ki, Hernandez; Muchu. Out: Bartley (thigh), Taylor (ankle). Team News Champions Manchester City are again without playmaker David Silva and a number of other players for their Premier League game against Swansea. Silva continues to struggle with the hamstring injury which has kept him out for the past two games while defenders Pablo Zabaleta and Maicon, and midfielders Javi Garcia and Jack Rodwell are also missing. Another midfielder, James Milner, sits the game out through suspension after his sending-off at West Brom last weekend. But Swansea manager Michael Laudrup has no such concerns ahead of the game against City. The Dane could opt to again start midfielder Michu in attack after the Spaniard claimed his sixth goal of the season when employed as a striker in the win over Wigan, with Danny Graham the alternative. Pablo Hernandez and in-form Wayne Routledge look set to keep Nathan Dyer on the bench, while Kyle Bartley (thigh) and Neil Taylor (broken ankle) are the only long-term absentees. Match Notes Manchester City's unbeaten run on Premier League duty at the Etihad Stadium now stands at 22 months, so home comforts will be a welcome distraction for Roberto Mancini's team as they face a Swansea outfit struggling to adjust to manager Michael Laudrup's methods. There is similar confusion within the City ranks over Mancini's approach, but while the uncertainty continues to be exposed in the Champions League, it is a different story on the domestic front and the champions are likely to sail to another comfortable home win tonight. Betting: Home 2-9, Away 9-1, Draw 5-1. Stat of the game: Edin Dzeko has five goals in the Premier League in just 278 minutes of play, an average of a goal every 56 minutes. Mark Ogden's prediction: Manchester City 3 Swansea City 0.
