Carabao Cup 2025-2026: Swansea-Manchester City, the likely lineups
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City returns to the pitch in the evening at 8:45 p.m. for their Carabao Cup round of 16 match against Swansea. The last defeat against Aston Villa has somewhat cooled the enthusiasm of the Citizens, who were climbing up the Premier League standings; Swansea is currently 13th in the Championship, England’s second division, and is dreaming of a feat in front of its own fans.
The Welsh should rely on Idah in attack, supported by Manuel Hedilazio, Yalcouyé, Ji-sung Eom. In the middle Franco along with Galbraith.
Guardiola with Marmoush a point of reference in attack, on the flanks are Bobb and Doku, the director is Lewis, flanked by Kovacic and Nico Gonzalez.
Swansea-Manchester City, the likely lineups
SWANSEA (4-2-3-1): Fisher; Key, Casey, Burgess, Samuels-Smith; Gonçalo Franco, Galbraith; Manuel Hedilazio, Yalcouyé, Ji-sung Eom; Idah.
MANCHESTER CITY (4-1-4-1): Trafford; Matheus Nunes, Stones, Aké, O’Reilly; Lewis; Bobb, Kovacic, Nico Gonzalez, Doku; Marmoush.
