Claudio Ranieri wary of difficult Swansea City challenge

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri has warned his players that they face a huge challenge in their Premier League clash against Swansea City.

The Foxes continued their impressive campaign in their 1-1 draw against Manchester United last time out, extending their unbeaten run to seven matches in the top flight.

However, Ranieri has insisted that his side cannot rest on their laurels against the Swans, who have struggled for form over the past two months of the season.

"It will be very difficult, I'm sure," Ranieri told the club's official website. "It's a tough match for us and it's another good opportunity to show how good we are.

"Psychologically against Manchester United for me it was easy because everybody was pushing about United. For me Swansea is a very good team. I told to my players 'be careful' because Swansea is a good team and for us that's very important.

"There are very good players [at Swansea]. They started very well. They beat Manchester United and drew with Tottenham and Chelsea. Sooner or later they'll get better. Of course, I hope later and not sooner."

Leicester play Swansea at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
