A match in the fourth round of the English League Cup begins, with Manchester City visiting Swansea. Manchester City's record in the league is mediocre, with only 5 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in 9 league games, ranking 5th, 6 points behind Arsenal at the top, making it very difficult to compete for the championship. In Sunday's game, Manchester City lost to Aston Villa away from home and dropped a vital 3 points. Now coming to the EFL Cup, Manchester City faces the English Championship team Swansea. Manchester City must win this game. As a result, Manchester City reversed course and eliminated Swansea.

Manchester City has a 4231 formation. Malmouche was at the front. The offensive combination of Doku, Shelki and Bob worked together. Mukasa and Gonzalez form a double midfielder. The back four of Nouri, Ake, Husanov and Rico Lewis started. Trafford serves as the starting goalkeeper. Savinho, Foden, Gvardiol and Donnarumma were on the bench.

Manchester City lost the ball just 12 minutes into the game. Franco blasted an unanswerable kick from outside the penalty area. The angle of this long-range shot is too tricky, and it hits the blind spot. The goalkeeper's flying dive was completely unable to touch the ball. Swansea got off to a fantastic start. 5 minutes later, Nouri was shown a yellow card for a foul. In the 32nd minute, Weddel dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area and shot low, but the result was slightly wide. Manchester City escaped unscathed. 7 minutes later, Manchester City equalized the score! Doku dribbled the ball in the left side of the penalty area and shot low. The ball was blocked and refracted into the net! At halftime, the two sides tied at 1-1.

Change sides and fight again in the second half. In the 50th minute, Malmouche tried a long shot but missed. In the 63rd minute, Guardiola made large-scale substitution adjustments. Foden, Stones and Gvadio came on as substitutes, while Nouri, Mukasa and Husanov were replaced. Three minutes later, Nico Gonzalez missed a long shot. In the 74th minute, Gvadiol also tried a long shot, but the goalkeeper saved the ball.

In the 77th minute, Manchester City took the lead! Malmouche shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area, and the ball hit the net! This shot was too powerful and the angle was perfect. Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief. 7 minutes later, Doku's cut shot was blocked. In stoppage time, Shelki scored a low shot from the middle of the penalty area to end the game. In the end, Manchester City came back and defeated Swansea 3-1. The 22-year-old genius Shelki was undoubtedly the best player in the game. He scored 2 goals, including 1 goal and 1 assist, as well as a game-high 6 key passes.
