Sunday’s Premier League action concludes at the King Power Stadium where league leaders Leicester City take on Swansea City.

The Foxes saw their advantage at the top of the table cut to five points last weekend as they only managed to draw with West Ham United while second place Tottenham Hotspur thumped Stoke City 4-0 on Monday evening.

With Spurs not playing until Monday again Claudio Ranieri’s men, who are unbeaten in eight, have the chance to pull clear once more.

Top scorer Jamie Vardy was sent-off in Sunday’s draw against the Hammers and will miss out so Leonardo Ulloa is expected to deputise while Nathan Dyer is ineligible to face his parent club.

Ulloa is 6.0 (5/1) to open the scoring while Riyad Mahrez can be backed at 6.5 (11/2) with a variety of firms.

The home win is widely available at 1.75 (3/4) with the visitors as highly priced as the 5.7 (47/10) on offer from 888 Sport, who have the drawn at 3.8 (14/5).

The Swans saw their three game unbeaten run ended by Newcastle United last weekend though with a ten point gap between themselves and the bottom three going into the weekend, even the more pessimistic of fans would assume their Premier League status is secured for next season.

Victory here could see them move up to eleventh place should other results fall in their favour.

Midfield duo Jack Cork and Leon Britton are both available after recovering from their respective knocks.

Bafetimbi Gomis is priced at 11.0 (10/1) to get the first goal of the game with Betfair while Gylfi Sigurdsson an 12.0 (11/1) chance with Bet 365.

Leicester won the reverse fixture at the King Power Stadium back in December by three goals to nil while they also won without conceding in last season’s corresponding fixture.

You can back a win to nil with the East Midlands outfit this time around at 2.7 (17/10) with Paddy Power while you can back the hosts to score two or more at 1.95 (19/20) with Coral.
