Quotes
Pep Guardiola: “We are going to try and win this competition – we will play some players who don’t have the opportunity to play that often but we will be trying to win. You don’t have to guess to know which titles are our priorities but we want to win this is an official game for Manchester City and we will prepare as normal and try to win this game.”
Leon Britton (Swansea): “The cup has served us well and it can breed confidence. As players we need to give fans something to shout about. The atmosphere against Chelsea was fantastic. Man City come here in great form but we can beat them.”
