    There has been some very unexpected results this season which gives the so called smaller sides plenty of hope. On paper Man city should blow us away thith their big money stars but it is still 11 players V 11 players and it's on the day that matters if they turn up or we turn up......Odds will state a Man city a certain banker but records show that nothing is certain in this game and odds have been proven wrong.....It will be tough but far from impossible and we have more chance than the odds suggests and are very capable of getting a result...

    Man City are a side capable of thrashing anyone in the PL and if they play well they will beat us. It's as simple as that.

    That's not to say we don't have a chance, because we do. (Thats something I wouldn't have said six weeks ago with Captain Bob in charge) . Clement has to come up with a plan to stifle them and hit them on the counter attack, which going by Man Citys home form is feasible.

    If I'm honest I think Man City will win, but I hope we can put in a stubborn performance and make it as difficult as possible for them.

    Prediction: Man City 2 Swans 1

    A draw would be a good result, be interesting to see how PC sets us up for this one, we always raise our game against Citeh, just hope our defence has a good one, big plus is that Taylor will not be playing..............<laugh>

    Tough one. Man city have been blowing hot and cold lately. If the team that just blew West Ham out of the park turn up then it's gonna be a very long afternoon. We are going to need them to have an off day to get anything here, but I'll always back us to do well. 1-1 for me.

    Everyone can beat each other on the day....this has been proven time and time again and the usual reason for losing miserably is all down to thinking you are going to lose before you actually play any big team.....It's all in the head that you think Wow we play Man city next week and you go into a defensive mode.......We should go there full of confidence and expect a result with the attitude we are good enough.....

    Man City are prone to a quality counter attack . If we can scare them early with a few good ones , their whole game will change and that makes them more pronerer

    I am really worried about this game, they could embarrass us. We have improved no end recently, but still a long long way to go. I hope we don't get smashed as that could put all this resurgence and improvement back a long way and really hit the confidence of the players. I can take losing to them as long as we don't get hammered.
