Carlos Carvalhal insists he will have no issue with Liverpool if they rest Mo Salah against Stoke City on Saturday. The Swansea City manager could see his team’s narrow advantage over their relegation-threatened rivals Stoke and Southampton whittled down to just a single point by Saturday night. That would be the scenario by the time the Swans host Chelsea if Stoke were to win at Anfield or if Saints win at home against Bournemouth.

Carlos Carvalhal insists Swansea City are still in control in their Premier League destiny, despite their crushing 5-0 defeat at Manchester City. The Swans manager watched his team equal their biggest losing margin in the Premier League against the new champions in a game that was utterly one-sided. The only consolation for Carvalhal was that Swansea remain four points clear of the drop zone in 17th with Stoke drawing with Burnley earlier on Sunday and Southampton in FA Cup action.

Carlos Carvalhal has described Pep Guardiola as a manager from the gods and says he will be proud to provide a guard of honour for Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday. City will play their first game since securing the title without kicking a ball last Sunday and there is certain to be a celebratory atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium. Carvalhal believes his relegation-threatened team can spoil the party but believes there is no dispute over their hosts’ No.1 status.

Former Swansea City manager Kenny Jackett believes he has a future Wales star on his hands in Dion Donohue.

Raised in the village of Bodedern, Donohue, signed for Pompey from Chesterfield at the start of the season and has impressed in his debut campaign, making 32 appearances so far, mainly at left back.

Two goals in eight second-half minutes saw Swansea City Ladies come from behind to beat their Cardiff counterparts 2-1 in the FAW Women’s Welsh Cup final.

The Ayew family are determined to steer Swansea City clear of relegation. Ghana international Jordan and his brother Andre were cheered on by nine other family members as they combined to rescue a priceless point for the Swans in the 1-1 draw against Everton on Saturday. The Ghanaians were starting together for only the third time since Andre rejoined the club from West Ham and their influence is obvious.

Jordan Ayew is convinced Swansea City can maintain their points cushion over the relegation zone – even though two rungs of the ladder between themselves and the bottom three have been kicked away. Ayew’s 11th goal of the season secured a 1-1 draw against Everton on Saturday, the least Swansea deserved after outplaying Sam Allardyce’s side for long periods at the Liberty Stadium. Although wins for rivals Crystal Palace and Huddersfield dropped them two places to 17th, Swansea now have a five-point lead over Southampton who are in 18th position.

Renato Sanches may be still in Germany, but his Swansea City days are not yet over, insists Carlos Carvalhal.
