Swansea City faces Manchester City in the Carabao Cup, looking to stage a magical cup run after beating Nottingham Forest 3-2 in the third round. The team, managed by Alan Sheehan, will be looking to cause an upset against Pep Guardiola's side, which has been unbeaten in 15 matches against Swansea City. Manchester City has met Swansea City twice since the Welsh side was relegated from the Premier League in 2018, winning 3-2 and 3-1 in a pair of competitive FA Cup ties. Swansea City sits 13th in the Championship through 12 games in 2025-26, and a mid-table finish is projected. However, the team may be able to stage a magical cup run, having fought back from 2-0 to beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 in the third round of this competition. Manchester City, meanwhile, cruised to a 2-0 win at Huddersfield Town to set up this tie, but they did have their nine-game unbeaten run snapped at the weekend, as they lost again at Villa Park. Erling Haaland picked up a knock in Sunday's defeat at Aston Villa, and Guardiola has confirmed his star striker will be rested on Wednesday night. Swansea City will welcome back teenager Malick Yalcouyé to their matchday squad on Wednesday after he missed the 2-1 win over Norwich City through suspension. The hosts are still without Ricardo Santos due to a knee injury. If changes are made from Saturday's team, expect Irish international Adam Idah to lead the line, Burnley loanee Manuel Benson to support the attack, and Chelsea youngster Ishé Samuels-Smith to come in at left-back. The predicted lineup for Swansea City is Fisher; Key, Casey, Burgess, Samuels-Smith; Franco, Galbraith; Benson, Yalcouyé, Eom; Idah. Manchester City's predicted lineup is Trafford; Nunes, Dias, Aké, O'Reilly; González; Savinho, Cherki, Bernardo, Doku; Marmoush. The match kicks off at 7.45 p.m. GMT, and the referee will be Jarred Gillett. Swansea City will be looking to cause an upset and advance to the next round of the Carabao Cup. The team has a tough task ahead, but they will be motivated to perform well in front of their home crowd. The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams looking to win and advance in the competition. Swansea City's fans will be hoping for a positive result, and the team will be looking to make them proud. The Carabao Cup is a great opportunity for the team to showcase their skills and make a run in the competition. With a strong performance, Swansea City can cause an upset and advance to the next round.
