England goalkeeper Joe Hart returned to the bench as goal-hungry Manchester City hosted Swansea in the Barclays Premier League.

Hart had featured in the Champions League in midweek but Costel Pantilimon came back in as City reverted to a side close to that which trashed Tottenham last week.

Joleon Lescott replaced the injured Matija Nastasic in the only change to the side that beat Spurs 6-0 while Swansea had Alvaro Vazquez up front in the absence of Michu and Wilfried Bony. Gerhard Tremmel kept his place in goal ahead of Michel Vorm at the Etihad Stadium.

Man City: Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Lescott, Clichy, Jesus Navas, Toure, Fernandinho, Nasri, Negredo, Aguero. Subs: Hart, Richards, Milner, Dzeko, Kolarov, Javi Garcia, Rodwell.

Swansea: Tremmel, Tiendalli, Chico, Williams, Ben Davies, Shelvey, Canas, Pozuelo, de Guzman, Hernandez, Vazquez. Subs: Vorm, Amat, Taylor, Dyer, Lamah, Routledge, Donnelly.
