It’s Friday Night Football in the FA Cup as League 2 side Swindon Town are host to Premier League giants Manchester City.
Man City are the latest team to suffer a large covid outbreak with 7 first team players out so far and Pep Guardiola isolating alongside his assistant Juanma Lillo for this third round FA Cup tie. Man City will be without Phil Foden and Zinchenko as they isolate amongst other first team players, with Riyad Mahrez also unavailable due to international duty.
Swindon will also be without key players as well though with vice-captain Jack Payne missing out due to injury and Welsh international Jonny Williams doubtful too.
This bet builder comes in around 6.27 with Man City being clear favourites in this fixture.
Swindon Town v Manchester City Bet Builder Tips
Jack Grealish Anytime Assist
Grealish hasn’t exactly lived up to his £100 million price tag since making his move to Manchester City in summer. However, this fixture will give him a chance to regain some confidence with the Englishman being predicted to start in what looks to be a mix of experience and youth to see past Swindon.
There’s no doubt that Grealish still has incredible quality and this game against the league 2 outfit may be just what he needs to prove he deserves a more regular place in Guardiola’s side.
The 26-year-old has managed to bag himself 2 assists in 13 appearances so far this season, which admittedly isn’t great for his standards, but he looks to be one of City’s main attacking threats for this game. Grealish has been accused of playing it safe under Guardiola but playing against a league 2 outfit could see the return of the more expressive player we haven’t seen since Aston Villa, and display some of his excellent dribbling and passing abilities that he possesses, hopefully adding another assist to his tally which is currently at 2.1 on Pady Power.

Prediction: Jack Grealish to Assist Anytime
Over 7.5 Away Corners
The next selection for this bet builder is over 7.5 Man City Corners. Man City have had the most corners in the Premier League this season with 178 so far in the league. Meaning they average a staggering 8.48 per game!
Although this isn’t a league game and there will of course be some significant changes to the line-up we see on Friday night, I still fancy Man City to put in another completely dominant display against Swindon and grab the corners needed for this selection.
Paddy Power are also offering a decent price for this one at 1.67.

Prediction: Over 7.5 Away Corners
Over 3.5 Match Goals
Man City have scored 4 or more goals in 10 matches across all competitions so far this season, which is pretty good going for a team with no out and out striker. It’s difficult to compare these 2 sides with 72 teams currently between them in the English football pyramid.
Last time Man City played a team below the Premier league was against League 1 side Wycombe in September, which they put 6 goals past with a mix of youth and experience starting – a side which should look somewhat similar in terms of experience again this time out if predicted line-ups are anything to go by.
It is currently 1.73 for this selection on Paddy Power.
