I'm actually more confident about this one than i normally would be.tolmie's hairdoo said:Not looking forward to this one.
Don't fancy us for the three points and a draw might be the best we can get at a push.
We have understandably looked a little leggy in recent games and Swansea are exactly the type of team who can make it very difficult for us in terms of ball retention and taking the likes of Yaya out of the equation with their passing.
As others have said, Shelvey can cause us a lot of problems running in that space between midfield and our defenders.
Silva will be a big miss and I would be a lot more confident if Aguero was on the pitch and we could at least carry that counter threat and outscore them.
A 4-5-1 with Milner sat alongside Fernandinho and Yaya playing a little closer to Nasri and Negredo.
Hope for the above, otherwise a 2-2 or a 3-2 loss.
Don't worry about that they will be full of energy when city come to town like all teams are! I'd take a draw now especially with the players we are missing..
