Team news and stats ahead of Swansea vs Man City in the FA Cup fifth round on Wednesday (kick-off 5.30pm).
American pair Jordan Morris and Paul Arriola could both be involved for Swansea's FA Cup fifth-round home tie against Manchester City.
Morris, signed on loan from MLS side the Seattle Sounders, has come off the bench in Swansea's last two league games and is in contention for a first start.
Fellow United States forward Arriola only arrived on loan from DC United over the weekend but has impressed in training and might make the bench.
Midfielder Korey Smith is close to a return after four games out with a quad injury but young striker Liam Cullen, who scored twice in the 5-1 fourth-round victory over Nottingham Forest, faces a spell on the sidelines after undergoing recent ankle surgery.

Aguero, who scored a controversial late winner when the sides last met in the FA Cup in 2019, returned to training on Monday after testing positive for coronavirus, but is not yet in contention to play.
