No Caleb Okoli from start or Ben Nelson on the bench. Jannik Vestergaard back in the starting line up. Harry Souttar back on the bench.
Gary Rowett made that single change, and he looks bevildered in selection or system, but still Leicester started the game in a positive way.
Attempts either went wide or a Swansea defender blocked the attempt or their goalkeeper made a good save.
Then in the middle of the first half Leicester shifted to their lowest gear, becoming that uncertain group of players that we have seen all season. Good defending made it shift again with Leicester being very positive in the ending part of first half. No goals but good attempts from the frontline.
Divine Mukasa had a troubled day at the office. Thinking he could have been given a rest after first half, giving Jordan Ayew a chance in that position. But nothing happened. Gary Rowett did nothing, instead, early second half, a deadly decision in a free kick situation, made it possible for Swansea to score on a counterattack snapping the ball from this terrible mistaken pass. Who to blame? Divine Mukasa.

Gary Rowett had more than enough minutes to turn things around, but made huge mistakes in his substitutions. He never tested out the partnership that worked so well vs. Wednesday. He brought on Jordan Ayew but shortly after took off Patson Daka.
Ayew pushed into that top forward role again, not having those attributes and skills, he looked lost again.
Swansea held on to their lead. Portsmouth and Oxford winning made this day one of the darkest moments ever as a Leicester fan.
Still a chance for survival, but little or no belief in this group after today. Staying up looks difficult.
