Blog: Swansea City - a tactical analysis

Swansea City come into this game after back-to-back defeats to Manchester City at the Liberty Stadium in the EFL Cup and Premier League.

The Swans have notched just one win in their opening six matches in the league this season; however, coach Francesco Guidolin instructed his players to press Pep Guardiola's City and even though they were beaten, it was very effective for large parts of the game.

There's a good chance that he will look to do the same against the Reds, although he will be wary after their recent form.

His team have switched formations throughout the last two months, with 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 the most common.
