than capable of competing in the Premier League and that his team will be looking to prove a point against City.
Rodgers is quoted to have said: "With this group of players we are more than capable of playing at this level. It's been a big achievement getting here but it will be an even bigger achievement staying here. We've had a fantastic pre-season, now we are really
looking forward to the start of the season and the challenge that lies ahead."

Premier League crown. As a result, they are more than likely to welcome Swansea to the Premier League, by showing them just how competitive things are going to get for them.
