- 曼城在最近四场国内杯赛对阵低级别对手的比赛中，有三场得分和失球
- 斯旺西本赛季在10场主场比赛中有8场得分和失球
- 神圣穆卡萨在上一轮比赛中表现出色，为菲尔·福登打入一球
天鹅队足以吓到曼城
斯旺西有能力在斯旺西体育场举行的万圣节卡拉堡杯比赛中给曼城一到两次惊吓，但佩普·瓜迪奥拉应该有太多的牌可以玩，以免变成恐怖表演。
这就是Ange Postecoglou的遭遇；在上一轮比赛中，诺丁汉森林队主队死而复生，以3比2获胜，一名状态良好的杀手赞·维普特尼克在最后时刻获胜。
这位斯洛文尼亚前锋周六再次成为刽子手，在天鹅队取得了惊人的双冠王；主场2比1战胜了功能失调的诺维奇队，看起来有心情制造更多麻烦。
神圣的干预可能会发生
曼城最近有向低级别对手丢球的历史，上赛季他们在四场杯赛中有三场丢球。在足总杯对阵莱顿东方队和普利茅斯队的比赛中，他们被迫后来居上，在主场2比0领先的情况下，他们无法控制沃特福德队。
尽管哈德斯菲尔德在第三轮主场对阵曼城的比赛中未能进球，但Terriers队有几次机会；他们最好的成绩来自定位球。假设埃尔林·哈兰德在这场比赛中休息，曼城可能会在角球和任意球方面缺乏一些空中力量。
这位挪威人在哈德斯菲尔德休息了一晚，学院新星迪瓦恩·穆卡萨扮演了一个假九号角色，如果佩普再次选择他，他随时都可能成为这个角色的最佳射手。穆卡萨在城市得分’；上周，他在欧洲青年联赛中以2比1输给了比利亚雷亚尔，他似乎已经准备好在一线队中再创佳绩。
- Manchester City have scored and conceded in three of their last four domestic cup ties against lower-tier opposition
- Swansea have scored and conceded in eight of 10 home games this season
- Divine Mukasa impressed as a false nine in the previous round, laying on a goal for Phil Foden
Swans capable of giving City a scare
Swansea are capable of giving Manchester City a fright or two in this Halloween week Carabao Cup tie at Swansea.com Stadium, but Pep Guardiola should have too many cards to play for it to turn into a horror show.
That what happened to Ange Postecoglou’s Nottingham Forest in the previous round when the home side rose from the dead to win 3-2 with a late winner from in-form hitman Zan Vipotnik.
The Slovenian striker turned executioner again on Saturday with a stunning double in the Swans’ 2-1 home win over a dysfunctional Norwich side and looks to be in the sort of mood to cause further trouble.
Divine intervention could be on the cards
City have a recent history of conceding goals to lower-tier opposition, which they did in three of four cup games last season. They were forced to come from behind against Leyton Orient and Plymouth in the FA Cup and could not keep a lid on Watford when 2-0 up at home in this competition.
And although Huddersfield could not muster a goal at home to City in the third round, the Terriers had a couple of close opportunities – their best coming from a set-piece. Assuming Erling Haaland is rested for this clash, City could lack a bit of aerial prowess on corners and free-kicks.
The Norwegian was given the night off at Huddersfield with academy starlet Divine Mukasa taking up a false nine role and he could be a good anytime goalscorer option for this one if Pep picks him again. Mukasa scored in City’s 2-1 Uefa Youth League loss to Villarreal last week and appears ready to make another mark at first-team level.
