LEICESTER v SWANSEA BETTING PREVIEW

Leicester fought hard with 10 men to savage a point in their last game with West Ham (2:2) at the King Power Stadium. Tottenham are still 5 points behind them, so the Foxes need eight points from the last 12 available to be crowned the most unlikley champions since the inception of the Premier League. They are undefeated in their last 13 home matches.

Claudio Ranieri will be without the suspended Jamie Vardy, while Nathan Dyer is ineligible to play against his parent club. With Vardy out, Ulloa should start alongside Shinji Okazaki in attack, with Ranieri unlikely to make many other changes to his usual formula. Matthew James is still not fit enough to return to competitive action and is unlikely to feature before the end of the season.

Swansea suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of survival seeking Newcastle last Saturday. Anyway, the Swans have already reached 40 points for the season and look all but guaranteed of a top-flight place for next term. The gap to the bottom three is still in double figures, although Sunderland do have a game in hand. Their form on their travels certainly leaves a lot to be desired. They have won just one of their last six league outings away from home.

Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin has the luxury of a fully fit squad to choose from. Bafetimbi Gomis may challenge Alberto Paloschi for the lone striker role, with Andre Ayew, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jefferson Montero the likely attacking midfield trio.

Leicester beat Swansea 0-3 when the clubs last met in Wales in December and have won each of the last two editions of this fixture 2-0 and 2-1. The Swans have won none of their last 11 trips in all competitions to play Leicester (D3 L8)
