SAVE!
Jesus latches onto De Bruyne's through-pass but he can only shoot straight down the middle of the goal, allowing Fabianski an easy save.

De Bruyne, so often the provider, is determined to get on the scoresheet. He rifles a venomous shot at goal from the edge of the box and Fabianski can only parry it into the path of Sterling. Thankfully, for the visitors, the linesman has his flag raised for offside.

SHOT!
City almost register their third. Bernardo Silva cuts inside and curls an effort at goal, but Fabianski makes the save.
31'
Strong appeals for a Man City penalty as Sterling goes down after contact with Mawson inside the box. Craig Pawson isn't interested, and he's quite right, too.

The hosts have also scored with the only two shots they have registered.
27'
Man City have had 86 per cent of possession thus far: a frightening statistic.
25'
Bernardo Silva's cross is blocked by his own team-mate, Sterling. He gets it back though, so it was kind of like an unusual one-two.
24'
It's been a difficult start for Swansea but they can take some comfort that Man United were losing 2-0 here at half-time a couple of weeks back, and we all know what happened then.

Silva and De Bruyne combine on the left, eventually finding Sterling. He feeds the ball to Delph but the full-back's cross is poor.
21'
The last meeting between the sides ended 4-0 to Man City at the Liberty Stadium, back in December. How many can the champions chalk up this afternoon?

Man City are showing absolutely no sign of any hangover from celebrations over the past week. They have the thought of reaching 100 points firmly on their mind and they want to do it in style.

GOAAAALLLL!
It's far too easy for Man City.
Delph exchanges an excellent one-two with David Silva before drilling a low ball across the face of goal, leaving Sterling with a simple tap-in.

Man City are in complete control.

Man City win a corner, which De Bruyne delivers. It's deep, searching for Delph, but Naughton is alert to make the interception.

David Silva with a lovely goal! De Bruyne cuts open the Swansea defence with a beautiful through-pass to Sterling. His clever cutback finds David Silva and he takes one touch before rifling a low shot into the bottom corner.

The ball strikes the referee but it doesn't deter Man City. David Silva works the ball wide to Bernardo Silva whose cross is deflected behind for a corner.
7'
Another poor cross from De Bruyne as this time it goes behind for a goal-kick, though the Belgian felt it took a deflection. Goal-kick is Craig Pawson's decision.
