Two clubs in the top half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Manchester City and Swansea City. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at the Etihad in Manchester and can be live streamed here free.
What They're Saying
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via Goal): "We are not playing well, with a lack of trust. We aren't scoring enough goals and conceding too easy goals. We must be worried. We have had one or two bad results, but I am not going to change the philosophy of what I am trying to do."
Swansea City manager Garry Monk (via the Telegraph): "I've played in the teams over the years and we've played some great football, and we'll always play passing football, but we have to have something we can rely on when that doesn't work or when we're not at our best."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Manchester City's Yaya Toure must be influential for the club to return to form. In 10 league appearances this season, the 31-year-old has just one goal and an assist.
Manchester City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Hart; Clichy, mangala, Demichelis, Zabaleta; Fernandinho, Fernando; Nasri, Toure, Navas; Aguero
Swansea City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Taylor, Williams, Bartley, Rangel; Yueng, Shelvey; Montero, Sigurdsson, Routledge; Bony
