Swansea savour Manchester City EFL Cup challenge

Pep Guardiola has won the EFL Cup four times at Manchester City

Alan Sheehan says Swansea City will savour the moment when they face Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the Carabao Cup.

Swansea were handed a home fixture against the Premier League heavyweights in Wednesday's fourth-round draw.

The tie, to be played in the week beginning 27 October, is reward for the Swans' thrilling win over Nottingham Forest in the previous round.

"Those are the sorts of nights and games that we want to bring to the football club," said head coach Sheehan.

"It's fair to say we will be facing a team led by one of the game's best and most influential coaches."

He added: "This team has been incredible for a sustained period, so to test ourselves against the best clubs in the Premier League is something to be excited about."

Swansea - League Cup winners in 2013 - are through to last 16 of the competition for the eighth time in their history.

The visit of eight-time winners Manchester City will be Swansea's fourth straight home tie in this season's run.

They overcame Crawley Town and Plymouth Argyle – on penalties – before coming back from 2-0 down to beat Forest 3-2.

Guardiola made nine changes from last weekend's Premier League draw at Arsenal for City's third-round win at Huddersfield Town, which was their first outing in this year's Carabao Cup.

Sheehan said "We had a taste of it in the last round against Nottingham Forest and we want to go up against the best."
