Your support makes all the difference.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.

47 MINS
Fernandinho takes down Olsson in a dangerous position to give The Swans a free kick.
It looks like an energetic start to the second half from the visitors.
48 MINS
Sigurdsson rattles the post with a powerful free kick. It's a tremendous effort, outweighed by an even better save from Caballero.
Positive stuff from Swansea.
51 MINS
De Bruyne finds Sane, who sends a delivery into the box and it rattles the outside of the woodwork. If that beat the post, I think that would beat Fabianski.
54 MINS
City appear to have regained control of the fixture. The Etihad is roaring with Citizen fans and this seems to have injected the home side with energy.
Llorente hacks down Kolarov - free kick to City.
57 MINS
Llorente sends a ball over the top to Routledge, but Fernandinho is covering. There's a very different feel about this second half.
Possession statistics stand at 50/50.
58 MINS
Sterling charges down the right and sends a crisp cross into the danger zone, but it's just a yard ahead of Jesus. The Brazilian youngsters movement off the ball to make space is phenomenal.
60 MINS
Yellow card: Llorente is given the booking for jumping into a header with his elbows raised dangerously high.
63 MINS
Silva finds Sterling, who charges up the flank and delivers the ball into the box. Jesus is marked by a sea of Swansea shirts and is unable to get on the end of it. Once again, it's a clever move by City, but the final product is not there.
