Leicester vs Swansea – Match Preview

The main story coming out of Leicester this week is whether or not Jamie Vardy will face an extended ban after being sent off last Sunday against West Ham. With Vardy facing a personal hearing with The F.A. next week it’s set to be a tense few days for everyone connected to the club.

Vardy misses today’s game through suspension as Leicester play host to Swansea. Another win here for Claudio Ranieri’s side and they will go 8 points clear for at least 24 hours. But Today is going to be another huge acid test for The Foxes. Can a Vardy-less Leicester clear this next hurdle?

Belief is obviously still high in the Leicester camp but everyone has been asking how the suspension of Vardy will effect the side. A win Today would be the perfect rebuttal to everyone who has been saying that are going to slip up in these final few weeks.

Last Sunday they salvaged what could be a vital point in terms of the title race thanks to a Leonardo Ulloa Penalty in the 95th minute. Relief all round for Leicester that Afternoon and although they saw their lead cut to 5 points a day later after a scintillating Tottenham win you get the feeling they still have enough of a buffer to see them over the line.

Their opponents Swansea will be looking to put a huge spanner in the works and blow the title race wide open with a win Today. Tottenham fans will no doubt be talking with a South Wales accent as they hope Swansea can do them a massive favour

In all fairness though it doesn’t look all that likely as The Swans season is over already. They have reached their objective of safety and are now coasting towards the end of the campaign. This was apparent in their 3-0 defeat to Newcastle last Saturday.

That will play into Leicester’s hands and even without Vardy they will have too much for Swansea to deal with. I can’t see anything other than a Home win Today as Leicester inch ever closer to the fairytale of becoming Premier League Champions.
