Swansea City vs Leicester City Preview: Kick-off, Team News, Predicted XI, and How to Watch
The countdown is on as Swansea City prepare to host Leicester City at the Swansea.com Stadium in what promises to be an entertaining Championship fixture.
The Swans currently sit eighth in the table and continue to push ambitiously toward the top six. Leicester, meanwhile, have slipped to sixth after four consecutive draws — a frustrating run that has slightly derailed their promotion momentum.
For that reason, head coach Marti Cifuentes is expected to take a more attacking approach when his side travel to Wales.
However, the Catalan manager still appears uncertain about his strongest starting eleven. Most positions seem settled, but the forward line remains a selection headache.
Cifuentes is due to speak to the media today to provide an update on his squad’s fitness. Supporters will be eager to learn whether Leicester have any new injury concerns before the weekend clash, information that could also shape our predicted line-up.
Kick-off, TV, and Streaming
The match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday, meaning it will not be televised live in the UK due to the blackout rule. Fans outside the UK or with club streaming subscriptions may still have access to live coverage.
Injury News
Speaking in Thursday’s press conference, Cifuentes revealed that winger Stephy Mavididi may miss the trip due to a fitness issue, which may also explain his recent dip in form. On a positive note, Victor Kristiansen has been declared fully fit and ready to feature.
Predicted Leicester City XI:
Jakub Stolarczyk; Victor Kristiansen, Wout Faes, Jannik Vestergaard, Ricardo Pereira; Jordan James, Harry Winks; Jeremy Monga, Bobby De Cordova-Reid, Abdul Fatawu; Jordan Ayew.
