Man City v Swansea - Preview and possible lineups

Man City: It emerged earlier in the week that striker Sergio Aguero will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, joining Benjamin Mendy (also knee) and John Stones (thigh) on the casaulty list.

Fernandinho will also be unable to play a part in the league fixture as he continues to serve a suspension. 

Swansea: Sam Clucas (knee) and Luciano Narsingh (ankle) are doubts for the trip to Manchester while Renato Sanches (hamstring), Wilfried Bony (knee) and Leroy Fer (achilles) will definitely miss out through injury. 

Man City boss Pep Guardiola on setting league records:

"In the past, I won the league at Bayern and Barcelona with five, six or seven games, but the next games were not good."

"It would be nice to finish good in terms of good feelings. It would be uncomfortable to finish in a bad way."

"The season is still games to play and we have to respect the five opponents and the competition, always there has to be a target. Maybe most goals and points will be a good focus."

Swansea manager Carlos Carvalhal on the relegation battle:

"I believe it will be a fight until the end of the season, until the last minute. We are ready to do that. When we arrived we were five points off on the bottom. Would I be happy if in last game we decide (if we will be able) to stay in the Premier League? What you think I would answer? Of course I'd want that."

"We are in a good position and all the games are opportunities to achieve points. Manchester City is difficult but it is an opportunity, and after we have four more. Others have three more games to achieve points, we have five."
