Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has returned to the 3-4-3 formation which paid off so handsomely during the 3-2 comeback victory over West Brom last weekend.

The Foxes welcome Swansea City to the King Power Stadium hoping climb off the bottom of the table.

Leicester go into this fixture on the back of consecutive victories for the first time since September, capped off by that remarkable 5-3 win over Manchester United, and seem to have a favourable run-in.

After this weekend, they travel to relegation rivals Burnley before a trio of home encounters against Chelsea, Newcastle and Southampton. Soon followed by a trip to Sunderland, City then face Queens Park Rangers on the final day.

Pearson had a largely injury-free squad to choose from, with only fourth-choice goalkeeper Conrad Logan and Zoumana Bagayoko being sidelined with long-term injuries.

£7m signing Andrej Kramaric returns to the starting line-up, in place of Leonardo Ulloa, while the former Hull boss sticks with Esteban Cambiasso in the centre of the park.

The visitors are without the suspended Neil Taylor while in-form striker Bafetimbi Gomis picked up a hamstring injury last weekend. Garry Monk's men can better their best ever Premier League points tally with a win.
