Wayne Routledge insists Swansea's players hold no grudge against Scott Sinclair over his summer move to Manchester City as they prepare to face their former team-mate for the first time at the Etihad Stadium.
Swansea head to the Etihad Stadium on the back of last weekend's morale-boosting win over Wigan, but will face a City side desperate to respond after their Champions League defeat to Ajax in midfield.
However, Routledge believes the Dutch team's 3-1 victory shows there is nothing to fear for the visitors going into a game few expect them to get a positive result from, although he is under no illusion about the size of the challenge facing the Swans.
He said: "The Etihad has become something of a fortress for them there, but we've got to go there in a positive frame of mind.
"As footballers, they're in the higher echelons but sometimes you have games when it doesn't click.
"That seems to be what happened the other night, it wasn't the usual Manchester City.
"But when you play Manchester City whatever they do it's going to be a really hard game on Saturday. We have to get our minds right and be ready from the start."
