Swansea are coming off a great win against Arsenal prior to the international break. Expect them to start the game in a confident manner, scoring the first goal through Wilfried Bony. The Ivory Coast striker has been great for Swansea this season and the new contract should have everyone at the club excited.

Yaya Toure is one of the best midfielders on the planet. So far this season, he has failed to live up to his exceptionally high standards. In order for Manchester City to be successful, Toure must be able to control the midfield and set up his strikers. This will be the game when Toure gets back on track and returns to his brilliant form.

3. Frank Lampard Is Still Elite

Lampard was gaining a reputation as a "Super Sub" earlier this season, including a game in which he scored a late equalizer against his former club. With the injury to David Silva, Lampard could play from the start. Expect Lampard to take advantage of the opportunity, creating numerous chances and eventually hitting the back of the net.

2. Lukasz Fabianski Will Stand On His Head

Fabianski has been outstanding for Swansea City this season. The keeper has earned five clean sheets through 11 games. Fabianski will need to be at his best, as Manchester City have been known to be an attacking powerhouse when they play in front of their home fans. Expect Fabianski to make a handful of spectacular saves to keep Swansea in this contest.

Manuel Pellegrini showed great confidence in Edin Dzeko since his arrival in Manchester. The striker justified the manager's confidence last season, scoring 16 goals. This season has not been the same for Dzeko, scoring only a pair of goals thus far. Sergio Aguero cannot carry this team forever. Look for Dzeko to regain his scoring touch and lead Manchester City to a much-needed victory.
