Swansea City v Leicester City: Monk out to derail visitors’ title bid

The hosts have only won one of their last 10 league matches, losing six of those games to see them slide down to 15th in the table and pile the pressure on manager Garry Monk.

Meanwhile, Leicester City had already given up its brief grip of league leadership as the team settled for a 1-1 draw with fellow powerhouse squad Manchester United at the King Power Stadium last Saturday, as per Daily Mail Online.

And Monk said: “I believe they have done fantastically, it is brilliant what they have done”.

“History shows you that in terms of whether they are title contenders, the answer is probably not”.

Monk’s position has come under huge scrutiny during a miserable run which has dropped them from a Champions League position at the end of August into the bottom six. I am sure they just want to keep that momentum going and see how far they can go’.

“It will be a hard game against a team in form and we won’t underestimate them”. Still they’re a good team and also last season they played really well.

“It was a much-improved performance, considering where we were the week before”.

– Swansea City have won their last three league games at home against Leicester without conceding a single goal.

The Foxes remain the only side to score in each of their 14 Premier League games this season.

“We have turned a corner ourselves and taken a step in the right direction so I’m looking forward to a good challenge against a side at the top of the division”.

The summer signing from St Etienne has yet to play a minute of Premier League football.

Ghana winger Andre Ayew has once again made the shortlist for the Swansea City Player of the Month award.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp last weekend joined those arguing Monk should be given more time to turn around Swansea’s fortunes after the 36-year-old guided the Welsh club to its best Premier League finish of eighth last season.
