SWANSEA CITY vs Manchester City is set for travel chaos after a serious incident near the stadium.
Swansea City’s supporter services posted on X: “Travel update | The A4067 is currently closed in both directions following a serious collision. This is expected to remain closed for some time.
“Supporters are advised to seek alternative routes to the Swansea.com Stadium.“
The A4067 is the main route to the ground for fans leaving the M4.
The Swans reached this stage with a comeback win over Premier League Nottingham Forest, managed, at the time, by Ange Postecoglou.
Man City meanwhile are looking to bounce back from defeat at Aston Villa over the weekend in the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola boasted four Carabao Cup trophies in a row between 2018 and 2021, but his side haven’t won it since.
And their hosts enjoyed the proudest moment in their history in this competition.
Following a shock semi-final win over Chelsea, which is better known for Eden Hazard receiving a red card for kicking a ballboy, the Swans took on League Two Bradford in the 2013 final at Wembley.
And a composed display saw Michael Laudrup’s side run out 5-0 winners at Wembley to lift their first major trophy.
More recently, Swansea and City played out an epic, and controversial, clash in the FA Cup.
The Championship Swans, managed by Graham Potter, raced into a 2-0 lead against the then-Premier League champions.
But City battled back and equalised with a controversial penalty before Sergio Aguero netted an offside winner.
Swansea’s stadium had the facilities installed in order to conduct a video review, but the club was banned from using VAR as a result of FA Cup rules at the time which stated that only Premier League grounds could utilise the system.
