The defending Premier League Champions Leicester City are looking for their first win of the season when they taken on Swansea City on Saturday evening. The Foxes suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Hull City on the opening day of the new season and were held to a goal-less draw by an understrength Arsenal in the following week. They did have the best of the chances in both the games and somehow the finishing has let them down.

Swansea City started with a 1-0 away win against the newly promoted Burnley in their first match of the season. And then suffered a surprise home defeat to another promoted side Hull City. The Swans narrowly escaped relegation last season and they will be hoping for none the less a top half finish this term.
