Pep Guardiola’s side will have been given little time to reflect on their impressive 4-1 win at Anfield on Sunday as they prepare to head to Wales to tackle a Swansea side aiming to join them back in the top flight next season. Steve Cooper’s well-drilled side saw off Sky Bet Championship leaders Norwich 2-0 last time out – but whatever team a rampant City field, Swansea should expect to be given the sternest test yet of their own aspiring Premier League credentials.

It was not so long ago that Tottenham were seen as being very much in the Premier League shake-up, but an inconsistent run – including three straight league defeats – dropped them out of contention. Spurs, though, are still alive in the Carabao Cup, where they will meet Manchester City at Wembley on April 25. Talk of a possible cup double, however, might be somewhat premature as they next head to Everton in the FA Cup and, as Sunday’s fightback at Old Trafford showed, Carlo Ancelotti’s men are no quitters.
