Swansea has been in good form, collecting 13 points from their last five games and scoring 11 goals. Despite previous leading scorer Joel Piroe being forgotten, Swansea has a diverse squad with 13 different players finding the net. Jerry Yates and Jamal Lowe have been consistent scorers in recent matches. Assuming there are no injury concerns, Duff might choose to field the same starting lineup from Swansea's comeback victory against Plymouth Argyle. While Oliver Cooper came off the bench to score in that match, three out of the four attacking players also contributed with a goal or assist. Unfortunately, Ben Cabango is expected to be out of action for several games due to a hamstring injury, joining Nathan Wood, Joe Allen, and Josh Ginnelly as absentees.
Swansea City Predicted Lineup
The predicted starting lineup for Swansea City is as follows: Rushworth; Key, Darling, Humphreys, Tymon; Grimes, Patino; Cullen, Patterson, Lowe; Yates.
Leicester City form
With only 11 games played, Leicester City is showing promising signs of a promotion. They have achieved 10 wins and suffered just one defeat against Hull City. Their six-game winning streak has put them 10 points ahead of third place. Enzo Maresca may have expected more from his team at times, but they managed to score 16 goals in their last six matches. Their defensive record of conceding only six goals is impressive, especially considering they have won all five of their away matches, conceding just three goals. In the previous three away matches, they scored four goals in two of them. However, their upcoming match against Swansea City will be their biggest challenge yet. Maresca rotated players for the Stoke game, so it is likely that Wout Faes and Wilfred Ndidi will return to Leicester's starting lineup. Jamie Vardy is also hopeful of starting over Kelechi Iheanacho, while Harry Souttar and Cesare Casadei may not be included in the defense and midfield.
Leicester City Predicted Lineup
As for Leicester City, the potential starting lineup is Hermansen; Pereira, Faes, Vestegaard, Choudhury; Winks, Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall; Akgun, Vardy, Mavididi
