Leicester have a proven track record over Swansea and Ranieri’s men will be desperate to grab their first league win of the season in front of their home supporters.

“We need to reflect on those results”, Guidolin said on Thursday.
Ranieri added: “Drinkwater can get better, last season he played nearly all matches, it was his first season he played so much, now he’ll be better”. “He can play together with Vardy and we bought Musa because he can play wide, behind the striker as well”.
“He will play with the under-23s and then he will be involved with the national team so he won’t travel with us to Leicester”. But it’s not a big injury and we need a little bit of patience. Last season we conceded seven goals against the Foxes.
“I am happy with the three centre-backs I have, but the season is very long so we need another one”, said Guidolin. “We have to play with courage in every game in this league and I hope to see my players do that this weekend”.
I also do not see them (Swansea) getting anything at Leicester. It’s not a good moment for him [to get injured] because he is a new player.
Vardy did net in the season curtain raiser Community Shield match with Manchester United at Wembley earlier in August, but has drawn blanks in Leicester’s two Premier League matches with Hull City and Arsenal.
Claudio Ranieri is still looking to secure his 100th Premier League win as a manager – he will be only the fifth non-British/Irish manager to reach this landmark if he guides the Foxes to victory in this match. With many expecting Leicester to experience a massive slump this season, their performance against a lesser team will be the first opportunity to start predicting just how great a slump that might be.
Vardy, 29, lit up the Premier League last term with 24 goals to help inspire 5,000-1 shots Leicester to a shock title triumph. We have to fight a lot to score goals and win the match.
The Swans were beaten 4-0 on their last visit to the King Power Stadium in April as Leicester took another decisive step towards a remarkable Premier League triumph.
