Manchester City entertain Swansea City at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon, in a meeting of two sides who have embarked upon something of a resurgence.

The Swans certainly, since Paul Clement's arrival in south Wales, look like a different prospect. Wins over Crystal Palace, Liverpool and Southampton have lifted them out of the relegation places.

After their pummeling at Goodison, Pep Guardiola's City have also picked up. The draw with Tottenham was followed by empahtic wins at Selhurst Park in the FA Cup and another in the league at the London Stadium.

What time is kick-off?

The match will kick off at 1.30pm on Sunday 5 February.

Where can I watch it?

It will be shown live on Sky Sports 1, with highlights on BBC One at 10.30pm.

Good afternoon and welcome to The Independent's live coverage of Swansea's trip to the Etihad. The visitors enter the clash confident following a string of positive performances under the new management of Paul Clement. The Citizens might not be favourites in the title race, but Guardiola will expect a comfortable three points on home turf today.

Swansea have seen a significant improvement in their results since Clement became the boss, but City have only lost once at home this season, so it will be far from simple for The Swans.

In fact, Swansea have not won an away fixture against The Citizens since 1951. So, no pressure boys...

Kick off at 13:30.

Let's help Guardiola out. Who would you have started as striker today?

Who is Gabriel Jesus?Guardiola has picked the 19-year-old Brazilian to start today ahead of top-scorer Sergio Aguero. The youngster was a £28m summer signing following a phone call from the man himself, Pep Guardiola. 

He was raised playing street football, but began his career at Palmeiras in Brazil. He proved himself a promising prospect from the off and this led to him featuring for the Brazilian international side.

He enters every game armed with impeccable pace, tantalising techniques in front of goal and a real era of determination about his performance on the pitch. 

He's certainly one to keep an eye on today. I'm sure Clement would have prepped his centre-backs on how to cope with this Brazilian starlet.

The players march out onto the pitch. Just minutes until kick off now. 

Can Swansea cause an upset and continue their fine run of form?

Will City bag the three points and progress to third in the Premier League table?

We'll see.

It's a rapid start from Guardiola's men, as they open up The Swans defence just a minute into the fixture. De Bruyne pings a ball through to Sterling, but to the relief of Swansea - it's over hit.

Sane bombs down the left hand side and delivers the ball into the box, but Jesus is unable to convert from inside of the box. He fires it over the bar, but he done very well to make the space inside of the box.
