Manchester City entertain Swansea City at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon, in a meeting of two sides who have embarked upon something of a resurgence.

The Swans certainly, since Paul Clement's arrival in south Wales, look like a different prospect. Wins over Crystal Palace, Liverpool and Southampton have lifted them out of the relegation places.

After their pummeling at Goodison, Pep Guardiola's City have also picked up. The draw with Tottenham was followed by empahtic wins at Selhurst Park in the FA Cup and another in the league at the London Stadium.

What time is kick-off?

The match will kick off at 1.30pm on Sunday 5 February.

Where can I watch it?

It will be shown live on Sky Sports 1, with highlights on BBC One at 10.30pm.

GOAL

MANCHESTER 2 - 1 SWANSEA

Jesus has given City the lead, for the second time today. What a start to his career in Manchester this is. 

Silva delivers the ball in and the Brazilian heads it at Fabianski and collects the rebound. He gets a huge chunk of luck, but he slots it home into the empty net.

FULL TIME

MANCHESTER CITY 2 - 1 SWANSEA 

It's all over at The Etihad. One word - Jesus.

The youngster rescued Manchester City, with an early opener and his late winner. A goal from Sigurdsson levelled the scoring, but it was not enough to secure the point. Clement's men started slowly, but deserve praise for their resilient second half display. City leave with the three points and move up to third in the Premier League, whereas The Swans continue their struggle at the other end of the table. 

Up next, Manchester United host a struggling Leicester City side. Make sure you tune in. 

Thanks.
