Leicester City look to finally get their first three points of the season as they host Swansea City at the KP Stadium.

Leicester started their season with a frustrating loss to Hull City, but showed a lot of resilience to fight to a draw with Arsenal in week two in their home opener.

Now Claudio Ranieri will be wanting to see his charges earn their first full three points of the campaign as the Foxes play host with Swansea City Saturday.

Following a strong debut performance, summer addition Nampalys Mendy was forced off with an injury and he is not expected to make a second appearance just yet.

Having scored seven straight unanswered goals against Swansea, Leicester will be looking to make a statement in their last August fixture of the new season.

The Swans started their season strong with a win against Burnley, but like the Foxes, they fell to the newly promoted Tigers in their second match of the campaign.

Borja Baston and Neil Taylor remain sidelined for the visitors but the attacking pair of Gylfi Sigurdsson and new forward signing Fernando Llorente will be looking to form a winning partnership.

Both Jack Cork and Leroy Fer have looked impressive in their first two games and they will look to control the midfield against the Champions and hope their front four can best Wes Morgan and Robert Huth.
