Hopefully they'll play a strong team with us playing them at the weekend but doubt they will, so it should be fairly comfortable this with our squad being much stronger and more motivated than theirs should be about 3-1 I reckon

I think this could be the side.
 
I'll be shocked if Gundogan plays as that will be 3 games in 8 days after being out for 4 months. More likely he is on the bench and saved for next Sat. If Fernando & Delph (& Yaya still has his migraine ) are injured then midfield options are limited but I still wouldn't start Fernandinho or Gundogan on Wed night.

Ha ha .... the people picking Gundogan haven't got a clue. No chance will he play 3 games in a week. Fernandinho, Sterling and DeBruyne will get a chance to put their feet up
 
The front three picks itself, the midfield is anyone's guess considering we don't know if Delph and Fernando are fit. Don't know if Yaya is even part of the squad any more. The only certainly is Aleix Garcia I think.

Would love to see Kompany.

Really a happy guessing on here! :)

We don' t know if Pep likes to see the backup keeper in cup games or not. (Last season in Munich the backup only did play 1st round.)
We don' t know if Silva, Fernando, Delph and Kompany are available at all.
We don' t know if Yaya will ever play again for City.
We don' t know if Gundogan will get the white flag from the doc.
At least Swansea doesn't know as well.

We do know Sergio and Nolito are banned.
We do know there will be rotation but not to what extent.
We do know Pep wants to win every single match. His game is based on dominance and intensity. Always.

Errm, why Gunn? Is Caballero injured or just wishful thinking?

He played the 2nd choice keeper once 5-0 up on the Chumps league play-off.

The white flag was Mancini v West Brom in this cup, I hope we don't do a second XI job like that night.

presuming merlin and Delph are still injured , as we are the cup holders , would like to progress to the next round and then play the Rags to end their season:)
 
dave will play if fit. obviously valuable game time to regain fitness and to provide creativity in the absence of kdb and ilkay who i think will be rested. kompany, sane and young aleix are in line for starts too.
