Swansea v Leicester odds, betting preview – Swans desperate for win at Liberty
Swansea City, without a win in five, host a Leicester City side who have lost two of their last three games as betting odds suggest this will be a tight affair.

Team news
Despite their poor form, Monk is likely to name the same starting XI that lost narrowly away to Stoke City.
This will see the summer signings Jefferson Montero and Bafetimbi Gomis remain as substitutes.
With Jordi Amat out injured, the Argentine Federico Fernandez will continue alongside Ashley Williams in defence.
Riyad Mahrez missed out against Newcastle, however is expected to return to the starting XI on Saturday.
David Nugent is likely to be named on the bench, with Jamie Vardy and Leonardo Ulloa to lead the line.
Swansea: Fabianski; Rangel, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor; Shelvey, Ki; Dyer, Sigurdsson, Routledge; Bony
Leicester: Schmeichel, De Laet, Morgan, Moore, Konchesky; Cambiasso, Hammond, Drinkwater; Mahrez, Vardy, Ulloa
