Leicester City team news v Swansea: Fatawu and Vardy preferred to Yunus and Iheanacho in attack
How Leicester City line up at the Swansea.com Stadium, where Enzo Maresca’s side are looking for a seventh straight Championship victory and a sixth in a row on the road
Abdul Fatawu is preferred to Yunus Akgun on the right wing as Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca names his team to take on Swansea.
The Ghanaian teenager starts in a front three with Jamie Vardy and Stephy Mavididi as those that spent the international break at Seagrave are preferred to those who didn’t. Yunus and Kelechi Iheanacho are both among the substitutes.
In defence, Jannik Vestergaard continues to keep Conor Coady out of the team, and is joined at the back by Wout Faes, with Ricardo Pereira and James Justin as full-backs. Wilfred Ndidi comes straight back in from Nigeria duty to join Harry Winks and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in midfield.

There are no real surprises in the team, which may be Maresca’s strongest. City are looking for a seventh straight victory in the Championship and a sixth in a row on the road, which would set a new club
record.
But Swansea do pose a tougher test than their mid-table position perhaps might suggest. They have won their last four and are one of the form teams in the division.
City (4-3-3): Hermansen; Ricardo, Faes, Vestergaard, Justin; Winks, Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall; Fatawu, Vardy, Mavididi. Subs: Stolarczyk, Souttar, Coady, Choudhury, Casadei, Yunus, Albrighton, Iheanacho, Daka.
