cc_star Posted 17 April 2015 Share Posted 17 April 2015 Swansea much better team than many on here are giving them credit for, a draw would be an excellent result for us They are fantastic defensively and good creatively with a bit of pace out-wide to keep our wingbacks pegged back in our own half, nullifying our attacking threat in the process We'll be over-ran in midfield with regards to numbers, never mind quality 1-3 is my prediction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristianity77 Posted 17 April 2015 Share Posted 17 April 2015 Even a draw tomorrow I'd be happy with as psychologically it would make a massive difference to go up a couple of places (provided Everton beat Burnley). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammie82uk Posted 17 April 2015 Share Posted 17 April 2015 Paul merson's view I’ve said all along Leicester will get out of the relegation zone. Compared to Burnley, Nigel Pearson’s side create plenty of chances and they have more players who can find the back of the net. For that reason I fancy their chances against Swansea and I really think they can survive the drop. The fact Swansea striker Bafetimbi Gomis is out injured helps their chances. Without the Frenchman It’s going to be a difficult task for Garry Monk’s side, so I’m going for a home win. PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds 15/2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ousefox Posted 17 April 2015 Share Posted 17 April 2015 We haven't won while I've been at uni this season and term started again on Monday... Their midfield is class. Think we'll be lucky to get a draw. Not sure going 343 from the start is a good idea. At least they don't have Gomis playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to 20 games this season: P20 W2 D5 L13 Pts 11 I've missed 11: P11 W4 D2 L5 Pts 14 I've only seen one goal by a Leicester player at home since October 4 (covers 8.5 games). In that same time frame my record is P14 W1 D2 L11 I'm going tomorrow. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 17 April 2015 Share Posted 17 April 2015 OPTA FACTS The home side has won the last seven competitive meetings between Leicester City and Swansea City. Swansea are unbeaten in their last three PL games (W2 D1)- They haven't gone four PL games without a defeat in a single season since January 2013. Leicester have scored 2+ goals in three successive Premier League games for the first time since November 2003. They have not done it in four consecutive PL games since May 2000. Esteban Cambiasso has scored four goals from five shots on target in the Premier League. Leicester have won both of their games so far in April this season, after a run of 17 Premier League games in April without a win before that. Swansea have taken 10 points from their last four Premier League games in April (W3 D1). Swansea have conceded exactly one goal in their last six Premier League games in April. David Nugent needs one more goal to match his best total of six goals in a Premier League campaign. Four of his five PL goals this season have come away from home, though. Bafetimbi Gomis has three goals in his last three Premier League appearances. Last season the team who were bottom after 31 games avoided the drop (Sunderland).

lcfcsnow Posted 17 April 2015 Share Posted 17 April 2015 I'll ask now before moaning about it tomorrow, do we really need 3 centre backs against Marvin Emnes knowing full well we'll be outnumbered in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xen Posted 17 April 2015 Share Posted 17 April 2015 I've not been at a single match that we've lost this season, and I'm going tomorrow. Hopefully that'll continue.

Izzet is God Posted 17 April 2015 Share Posted 17 April 2015 I'm going for a 2-2 draw....hoping we don't go 2 down - if we keep it close we might edge it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benguin Posted 17 April 2015 Share Posted 17 April 2015 I think both teams will get on the score sheet. We are going all out at the minute and we have scored 8 in 3 games. We can't seem to keep a clean sheet. Therefore I can see it being 1-1 or 2-1 city, I'm hopeful Swansea will be weak in attack and I can see the momentum we've gained continuing. With such an important fixture next week it would be lovely to go into off the back of a good result but let us not forget that we are Leicester City and we don't always get the results. On a side note I have never been more excited for a match than I am today, absolutely buzzing for this and despite not drinking for a while (I'm on a healthy living plan atm) I will certainly be having a pie and pint tomoz. Let's do this!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornyhollthefox123 Posted 17 April 2015 Share Posted 17 April 2015 I'll ask now before moaning about it tomorrow, do we really need 3 centre backs against Marvin Emnes knowing full well we'll be outnumbered in midfield. Emnes won't start. 99% certain their team will be Fabianski Rangel Williams Hernandez Amat Cork Ki Shelvey Sigurdsson Routledge Dyer It's a huge chance for us to get something from the game. 4 points from tomorrow and Burnley combined would be unbelievable after the last two games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 17 April 2015 Share Posted 17 April 2015 Not a single striker then and we're lining up with 3 centre backs Agreed if it is 3-5-2. They'll be virtually playing 4-6-0 and pin our wing backs back and outnumber our central midfield. I'd expect our CB's to be caught between two stools not knowing to step up and mark their most forward players or just mark their zones. Recipe for disaster if we play 3-5-2 IMO.

The Year Of The Fox Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 These are a bloody decent side if you ask me. The one side who played us off the park for the full 90mins. (I think I've said this on a previous page ) Dyer is a great player who'll cause us problems all game long. I like Swansea, how they play football, their town and their totty. Just hope they'll lose today. We need to get that place rocking today chaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Year Of The Fox Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 This is a Freebie for us. Not a must win, anything we get is a bonus. Let's attack. If we are guarenteed to beat Burnley, Sunderland and QPR then we can afford to lose every other game and survive. So you're right in essence. My heart couldn't take that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tielemans63 Posted 18 April 2015 Share Posted 18 April 2015 With 7 games left I'm not sure you can consider any of the remaining games a 'freebie' with the possible exception of Chelsea. Swansea are a terrific side but if we play to our maximum we can beat them. I'd argue every game should be treated as a must win now. I think saying our wins are going to come here, here and here is a risky game as this league just doesn't work like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
