Manchester City will hope to celebrate their Premier League victory as they host Swansea City on Sunday afternoon.

Pep Guardiola’s men have already been confirmed as champions so a victory this weekend would be the perfect way to round off a fantastic week.

It is not going to be an easy task though as they come up against a Swans side still battling for survival in the Premier League.

What time is it?

The match kicks off on Sunday at 4:30pm.

Where can I watch it?

The game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event.

It’s a big game for…

Swansea. Currently sitting five points clear of the relegation zone, Carlos Carvalhal’s men could extend the gap between themselves and the drop zone if they take anything from the game.

Also, with both Stoke City and Southampton not in Premier League action this weekend, it could be a real opportunity to ramp up the pressure.

Best stat…

Swansea have lost their last three games at the Etihad Stadium by the same scoreline. The Welsh outfit have fallen to a 2-1 defeat on each of their last three visits to face the Citizens.

Player to watch…

Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian has returned from injury in great form. The 21-year-old has netted three goals in his last four games in all competitions. He also scored two in the 2-1 home win over the Swans last season.

Form Guide…

Manchester City: WWLLLW

Swansea: WDLLDD

73: Here he comes. Ben Mendy makes his long awaited return from a knee injury and plays for the first time since September 23 2017. He replaces Fabian Delph.

Swansea bring on Tammy Abraham for Martin Olsson, whose biggest contribution to the game was getting booked for diving.

77: Ben Mendy's long lay off has clearly taken it's toll. He loses the ball to Tammy Abraham on the halfway line then falls short when trying to track back. A cross is delivered to Sam Clucas who slices a volley wide.

83: Gabriel Jesus comes so close to getting his goal. Phil Foden drifts past Swansea challenges then stands a cross up at the back post for Jesus to attack but he can only head it into Fabianski's hands.
