It probably couldn't have been a tougher draw as the Swans draw holders Manchester City at home in the next round of the EFL Cup.

After Tuesday night's 3-1 win over Peterborough in the second round of the competition, the Swans were handed a home tie in Round 3 against Pep Guardiola's side who will now visit the Liberty twice inside a week with them due here as well in the Premier League on 24th September.

The game will be played week commencing 19th September with every chance of it being the Wednesday night as we already play Southampton away on the Sunday previous.

The full draw reads as follows

Nottingham Forest v Arsenal
Leeds United v Blackburn Rovers
QPR v Sunderland
West Ham v Accrington Stanley
Southampton v Crystal Palace
Swansea City v Manchester City
Fulham v Bristol City
Bournemouth v Preston North End
Tottenham v Gillingham
Everton v Norwich City
Derby County v Liverpool
Northampton v Manchester United
Brighton v Reading
Newcastle United v Wolves
Stoke City v Hull City
