Leicester will go down to South Wales to take on Swansea City for their next hurdle to be jumped, setting a new record if they manage to win this one.
No new injuries, but still time to wait for Dennis Praet, Callum Doyle, Tom Cannon and Kasey McAteer. Leicester will be strong against a Swansea team missing a few key players.
Swansea are currently 12th, in good reach of the play-off positions, but possibly would have liked to be a bit higher in the table, as they believe they are a challenger to return to Premier League.
We see Leicester as massive favourites and anything but a win would be a huge negative surprise.

Swansea City Association Football Club is a Welsh professional football club based in Swansea, Wales. It competes in the Championship, the second tier of English football. Swansea have played their home matches at the Swansea.com Stadium (formerly known as the Liberty Stadium) since 2005, having previously played at the Vetch Field since the club was founded.
The club was founded in 1912 as Swansea Town and entered into the Southern League, winning the Welsh Cup in their debut season. They were admitted into the Football League in 1920 and won the Third Division South title in 1924–25. They again won the Third Division South title in 1948–49, having been relegated two years previously. They fell into the Fourth Division after relegations in 1965 and 1967. The club changed their name to Swansea City in 1969 to reflect Swansea’s new status as a city.[3] They were promoted at the end of the 1969–70 season, read more
Kit:
First Swansea City AFC shirt for the 2023/2024 season, men’s model. The new uniform shirt continues with white as its main color, as it is tradition since its foundation in 1912. Players and fans will once again wear an inspirational uniform, totally renewed and with a trendy style. Sublimation has been added to the sleeves using the traditional contrasting black. The pattern creates striking gradient waves resulting in a spectacular optical effect.
Arch-enemy: Cardiff City
