Leicester City v Swansea City: match preview

Suddenly Leicester is awash with optimism. Bottom of the table since November, the Foxes could leap out of the relegation zone with victory over a depleted Swansea side. While Garry Monk has to decide who to turn to for goals in the absence of striker Bafétimbi Gomis, Nigel Pearson has a fully fit squad and players who are infused with confidence following two successive victories. Erratic finishing has been a recurring problem for Leicester this season, but if they are wearing their shooting boots on Saturday, the hosts could claim a precious three points. Paul Doyle
