Manchester City injury and suspension list vs. Swansea City

Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Manchester City ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final against Swansea City.

The next leg of Manchester City's quadruple-chasing quest takes them to Swansea City on Saturday evening for an FA Cup quarter-final.

City have won 18 of their last 19 matches overall and remain on course to win all four competitions they entered this season, including the EFL Cup, which is already in the bag.

Tuesday's 7-0 thumping of Schalke 04 in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie made it 63 goals scored across those 18 victories, setting them up nicely for their trip to South Wales.

The Citizens have a two-week break between matches after this weekend's clash with Swansea, so Pep Guardiola is expected to go with a strong starting lineup.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the English champions' latest injury and suspension news ahead of the match at the Liberty Stadium.
