Head coach Alan Sheehan says Swansea City will give midfielder Marko Stamenic all the time he needs after the midfielder suffers a family bereavement.

Swansea were up for this one at home, and Gonzalez, one of 10 changes by Guardiola from the weekend defeat by Aston Villa, was one of the first to find out when he was pressed early on after receiving the ball from James Trafford. He remained calm.

Goals from Jérémy Doku, Marmoush and Rayan Cherki were enough to secure the victory for a Man City side lacking most of its superstars, including Erling Haaland. The win extended the Cityzens’ unbeaten streak to 16 games against Swansea, ending the hosts’ dreams of Carabao Cup glory.

Pep Guardiola said he did not expect anything other than a fierce challenge at Swansea City after Manchester City had to come from behind to knock the Championship club out of the Carabao Cup. Manchester City will host Brentford in the quarter-finals having come through what threatened to be a difficult night at Swansea on Wednesday.
