• Fixture: Swansea City vs Leicester City

• Date: Saturday, 04 October 2025

• Kick-off: 15:00 BST

• Venue: Swansea.com Stadium

Match Prediction: Swansea City 2-1 Leicester City.

Swansea City's recent form suggests they can secure a win away from home, as evidenced by their victories against Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday. They've got a knack for scoring, but their defence can be leaky, as seen in the draws against Millwall and Hull. 

Leicester have been drawing a lot lately, showing they're tough to beat but not quite finishing teams off. This could be a tight game, with Swansea's attacking flair up against Leicester's solid backline.

Swansea have been up and down lately, but they've shown they can grind out results. Their wins against Blackburn and Sheffield Wednesday, both away from home, suggest they're not afraid to take the game to their opponents. 

However, the draws against Millwall and Hull at home show they need to tighten up at the back. If they can maintain their focus, they have a good chance of causing Leicester some problems.

• Win: 2-1 vs Blackburn Rovers (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Millwall (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Birmingham City (A)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Hull City (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday (A)

Leicester have been drawing a lot recently, which shows they're hard to beat but struggling to put games to bed. Their only win in the last five was against Birmingham at home, which might give them confidence going into this one. 

The draws against Wrexham, West Brom, Coventry, and Oxford suggest they're solid but need to find that killer instinct. If they can sharpen up in front of goal, they could come away with the points.

• Draw: 1-1 vs Wrexham (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs West Bromwich Albion (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Coventry City (H)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Oxford United (A)

• Win: 2-0 vs Birmingham City (H)

Leicester have had the upper hand in recent meetings, winning the last three encounters. Swansea did manage a 2-0 win back in 2010, but they'll need to go back even further to 2009 for another victory over Leicester. It's been a tough run for Swansea against Leicester, but they'll be hoping to turn the tide in this one.

• Harry Souttar (Achilles) - Out

• Ben Nelson (Unknown) - Doubt

Predicted lineup: Vigouroux, Key, Cabango, Burgess, Tymon, Franco, Stamenic, Galbraith, Benson, Vipotnik, Inoussa

Swansea's predicted lineup suggests they'll look to attack with Galbraith and Benson leading the charge. Their recent form suggests they can be a threat going forward, but they'll need to be more solid at the back.

• Predicted lineup: Stolarczyk, Choudhary, Faes, Vestergaard, Thomas, James, Winks, Fatawu, Cordova-Reid, Mavididi, Daka

Leicester's predicted lineup indicates they'll rely on Daka and Cordova-Reid to break down Swansea's defence. Their recent results show they're tough to beat, but they'll need to be more clinical in front of goal.

• Galbraith vs James: This will be a key battle between Swansea's attacking midfielder and Leicester's central midfielder.

• Stamenic vs Cordova-Reid: Expect a tussle between Swansea's Stamenic and Leicester's creative force Cordova-Reid.

• Benson (Swansea City): Manuel Benson's pace and finishing make him a constant threat for Swansea.

• Daka (Leicester City): Daka's goal-scoring ability could be the difference for Leicester in this match.
