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.

City appear to have gone off the boil this half, with Swansea really looking like they are chasing this one goal deficit. 

Sterling once again sends a ball in towards Jesus, but Mawson comes out on top and smashes the ball to safety.

Jesus cleverly flicks the ball through to Silva, who finds himself in front of goal but Mawson once again charges across to save the day. The Swansea centre back is certainly proving his worth here today. The City man should have done better there.

Yellow card: Cork is booked for his challenge on Jesus.

Substitution: Carroll is replaced by Dyer

That's some more pace added to the attack by Clement.

GOAL

MANCHESTER CITY 1 - 1 SWANSEA

Sigurdsson receives the ball from Narsingh on the edge of the box, he takes a touch and pulls the trigger to beat Caballero. It's no more than Swansea deserve for their superior second half display. 

We really do have a game on our hands now.

Substitution: Borja Baston replaces Llorente

Sane charges into the box, but his delivery can only find Silva who is surrounded by a sea of Swansea shirts. The danger is somehow cleared to safety.

This will be an exquisite point away from home for Clement's men, if they can hold out.

There will be a minimum of four additional minutes.
