Can't believe the low price on City here. The market seems to be treating Swansea like lower league mugs.
Man City will be nowhere near full strength for this, and many will think they don't need to be. I disagree. I see a closer game that the odds suggest. 1.46 is a mental low price imo. I'm laying that.
The thing about Swansea - really rate Guidolin, great coach. Some really strong performances towards the end of last season, particularly beating Liverpool. But there squad is close to utter pish.

Sorted out the striker problem (Llorente looks okay, Baston yet to be seen) at least, but thats its. Midfield is so lightweight. Makes you wonder where the £100m tv money goes with some of these clubs.

What kind of second string can they put out? I don't know, don't know their squad in enough detail. But I would expect goals in both games.
