Manchester City's likely line-up to face Swansea away
MANCHESTER CITY FC
“Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side picked up a crucial set of three points away at arch-rivals Manchester United on Sunday”
Pep Guardiola’s men picked up a crucial set of three points away at arch-rivals Manchester United on Sunday.
After David Silva opened the scoring in the 43rd minute at Old Trafford, Marcus Rashford drew the home side level four minutes later - pouncing on a Fabian Delph error to equalise deep into first-half stoppage time.
But it was City who had the last laugh after Nicolas Otamendi also capitalised on a defensive mishap. This time it was Romelu Lukaku at fault, whose failed clearance allowed the defender to convert past David De Gea and make it 2-1.
And it proved to be the match winner, moving City 11 points clear of their neighbours in second place.
Next up for them is a trip to Swansea tomorrow evening - but who will start for the league leaders?
They will be without long-term absentees Benjamin Mendy and John Stones, whilst Vincent Kompany has been ruled out after picking up an injury against United.
