Leicester v Swansea

[jackaway]

Leicester v Swansea, Saturday 11 April 15:00
After the brave defensive display against a quality side in high flying Middlesbrough, the Swans move on to play the surprise strugglers in the Championship this season Leicester at the KP Stadium.
Fresh down from the PL they are in danger of another relegation after a six point deduction for breaking Profitability and Sustainability Rules. They are third from bottom and a point adrift of the team above them, Portsmouth, who have a game in hand.
The reverse fixture ended in a 1-3 defeat under Sheehan last October, an Idah penalty for the only Swans goal in a below par performance.
We have a poor record up there but will be buoyed by our performance against the Boro.
Prediction 1-1 draw.

Leicester 0 - Swansea 1 (Vipotnik 52’)
Vipotnik gets his 21st league goal of the season, Eom on the counter attack from a free-kick into our box, races away avoids several tackles and passed to Vipotnik who made no mistake firing past Stolarczyk.
Leicester full of fight but couldn’t score. They hit the bar, had five shots on target and twelve corners but Swans defended well to keep them out, Vigouroux solid and Vipotnik cleared one goal bound effort off the line.
First win at the KP Stadium and sweet revenge for our 1-3 home defeat earlier in the season.
Leicester second from bottom now and they’ve just had their 6 point deduction upheld so are deep in trouble.

Well that made my weekend that result.
Leicester full of top class players but they are struggling, I wonder if it’s the manager.
They play attacking football and created plenty of chances but couldn’t put them away.
Last time we beat them away was at their old ground Filbert Street.

Guys, despite Leicester’s lowly position I think that was an impressive win. Their team is full of Premier League players under performing.
Mind you they had their chances but couldn’t score, tough on them, this is football.

Looking at footballwebpages.co.uk form guide our away record in the last ten games is W4 D1 L5.
Surprisingly there are 14 other Championship clubs with a worse away record than us.

It was our 12th clean sheet of the season and the first away win against the Foxes since October 1950, which makes it doubly satisfying.

Leicester squad full of quality players on top wages yet they can’t win a football match.
They’ve tried three different managers recently but still can’t get it right.
What’s going on there?
