Kevin de Bruyne has clearly found out that when you come up against the Manchester rain, no-one is keeping their hair spiky! His corner almost reaches Wilfried Bony. This time Swansea skipper Ashley Williams beats the Ivorian to it.

Frustration growing from the home supporters now. Swansea are more than matching Manchester City, and always look clever on the ball. As soon as I type  that, Angel Rangel crosses the ball straight into the arms of Joe Hart. 

Despite his mistake for the Manchester City goal, Ashley Williams is earning his corn for Swansea now. Kevin de Bruyne comes on for David Silva. 

Let's see what he can do.

Jesus Navas is seeing a bit more of the ball now but another cross from the Manchester City winger, this time a low one, is hacked clear. 

The home supporters are urging their team forward as Jesus Navas collects the ball on the right. But Bacary Sagna's cross is cleared. 

Apologies, Swansea have now had seven shots to Manchester City's six. Four of Swansea's efforts have been on target. The hosts need another goal to settle this, no doubt. 

Swansea have had as many shots as Manchester City, both teams with six. Another good move from the visitors, as Wayne Routledge pokes over a right-wing cross, but Gylfi Sigurdsson is offside. 

Gylfi Sigurdsson takes the free-kick for Swansea, and shoots on target but Joe Hart dives to punch away. That looked like it caused some bother for the Manchester City keeper, who has been the busier of the two.

Manchester City right-back Bacary Sagna now goes into the book for a high foot on Wayne Routledge. Replays show he kicked him square in the chops. Double ouch. 

"Where were you when you were not very good?" sing the Swansea fans. Or words to that effect. Their team wins a corner but it is cleared at a second attempt by Manchester City. 

Wilfried Bony miscontrols the ball and catches Swansea's Ki Sung-yueng with a late tackle. Ouch.

Swansea have not scored in either of their last two games. 

Swansea supporters are now finding their voices to the tune of The Beatles' classic 'Hey Jude'. Their team is in this. Can they turn that into something more tangible?

Gylfi Sigurdsson is causing some bother down the other end too. He collects a through ball and gets a lucky ricochet, which allows him to advance on goal, but Joe Hart spreads himself at the near post to save the Icelander's effort. 

Swansea have had their chances in this. 

Yaya Toure is getting closer. The Manchester City midfielder collects the ball deep in the Swansea half and drives towards the box, but skews his shot wide and high.

Swansea caretaker boss Alan Curtis and his assistants are having a good old chin wag about what to do next. Still the rain comes down.

Yaya Toure fancies this, curls it over the wall and on target, but Swansea keeper Lukasz Fabianski dives to his right and punches clear. Decent effort. 

Down the other end, David Silva surges forward through the middle of the pitch and wins a free-kick about 25 yards out.

Chance for Swansea as Gylfi Sigurdsson wriggles into the box but Eliaquim Mangala makes a crucial block. Interesting start from the Swans. 

Manchester City sub Fabian Delph has slotted into Raheem Sterling's position down the left flank and is trying to use his energy to inject some added purpose into this game.
