Swansea City vs Manchester City EPL - 04-05-2013

Swansea City vs Manchester City
2012/2013 English Premier League, Round 36
Date: 04.May.2013 - 14:00 GMT
Stadium: Liberty Stadium - Swansea
Referee: Michael Jones

 On Saturday, 4th May at 14:00 GMT , Swansea City will host Manchester City at Liberty Stadium for Round 36 of the 2012/2013 English Premier League.
 Swansea have really struggled over the past few months after an excellent season up to then.  It’s tough for a team to maintain motivation when they are under no pressure of relegation or fighting for a European place so it’s understandable their performances would drop off.  They will hope to gain a few more points before the end of the season and finish in the top half.
Manchester City look to have 2 place sewn up with a 6 point lead over 3 place Chelsea.  Big changes will happen in Manchester this summer and could start with manager Roberto Mancini moving on and it’s rumoured Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini will be brought in to replace him.  The squad also needs freshened up as a failure to add quality to last season’s title winning team meant they were well behind in the title race this season.
 The Citizens returned to winning ways last week with a 2-1 victory over West Ham United, but their hold on a second place finish remains in jeopardy. Chelsea and arsenal are six and seven points behind them and will be pushing to win-out the season in hopes of at-least claiming a top four spot. Manchester City has never won at the Liberty Stadium but will hope to end that streak on Saturday.
