Swansea City vs Manchester City Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | EFL Cup 2025-26

The Cityzens haven’t lost to the Swans in their last 15 meetings!

Manchester City will now face Swansea City in the fourth round fixture of the Carabao Cup 2025-26 edition. The Swansea.com Stadium will witness this interesting contest between these clubs.

The Swans defeated Nottingham Forest in their last EFL Cup contest. Their performances in the ongoing season have not been very consistent and this can be a problem for them against Man City. Swansea City will be at home for their next contest and they are going to put up a strong performance.

Following a disappointing English Premier League loss to Aston Villa, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City will be eager to bounce back in their upcoming Carabao Cup fixture. The Citizens will be away from home once again but will be gunning for a win if they want to get to the next stage of the cup competition.

Players to Watch

Zan Vipotnik (Swansea City)

Zan Viptonik is going to play an important role on the attacking front. He is coming in after scoring a brace for the Swans in their EFL Championship game against Norwich City. He will be ready to lead his side in the final third. A strong performance by Viptonik will surely be a big advantage for Swansea City.

Omar Marmoush (Man City)

In the absence of Erling Haaland, Omar Marmoush will have an important responsibility on his shoulders in the final third for Manchester City. He will be looking to step up his game and help his side by scoring a goal or two. The Egyptian forward is going to create issues for the opponents.
