Claude Puel will be hoping to keep his strong streak going as Leicester welcome Carlos Carvahal’s resurgent Swansea City to the King Power stadium. The Foxes have steered well clear of the relegation zone in recent weeks, a path that Swansea will be looking to replicate a path towards safety in the upcoming weeks too.

SwanseaLeicester City
Claude Puel has invigorated the Foxes this term and they have risen to 7th in the Premier League table. They are very much in with an outside chance of playing European football next season and with FA Cup progress secured, they can put all of their attention into improving their Premier League position. Jamie Vardy’s 11 goals this season have served as a reminder of the England man’s qualities – timely in a World Cup year.
Swansea City
Carlos Carvahal has had an instant impact at the Liberty Stadium – only losing one of his 7 games in charge so far in all competitions. Their 1-0 win over Liverpool last time out has instilled belief that they can steer clear of the relegation places this season – despite currently sitting bottom of the pile. Jordan Ayew is the principal goal threat for the Swans – his 7 goals have already improved their league position and is at the forefront what they do going forward.
Head to Head
Leicester lead the head to head between the teams 19:11 with another 8 games between the teams ending as draws. The Foxes picked up a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture between the sides at the Liberty Stadium back in October thanks to a Federico Fernandez own goal and a Shinji Okazaki strike.
