After a record breaking week for the team that appears to be champion already, Swansea will be hosting the red-hot Manchester City at the Liberty Stadium on Wednesday, instead of having liberty at home, it is impossible not to imagine it that this Manchester City will tame Swansea at their own stadium.

Man City are enjoying an excellent season having won 14 of their last Premier league matches, matching the Arsenal’s invincibles of 2001-2002 season who also managed 14 consecutive wins. But they'll be looking to pip Arsenal to that record when they go to the Swansea.

Man City are the team with most points after 16 games in the Premier league history.

They combine a delightful scintillating style of dominating opponents almost throughout an entire match with victory guaranteed. It must be a sweet period for the fans and the club as a whole. One would naturally think that Man City will absolutely come to a point where they'll bottle some points, but it is doubtable if that will happen against this 19th placed Swansea team. And Pep Guardiola is known to be a coach who doesn't give room for complacency even when he has advantage over his rivals.

When questioned if Man City will relax on their good start few weeks ago, Pep said "I'll kill them, if I see any sign of complacency in my players" that summarizes the desire of the excellent trainer.

Swansea took in Tammy Abraham during the summer transfer window and he has been their best player this season in term of goals, netting 4 times in 15 appearances. Wilfred Bony will be excited to face his former club, as he is looking fit once again after a bad spell saddled with injury in his days at Man City. He bagged a last-minute goal against West Brom to help Swansea take all the three points.
