Team News: Swansea City's Renato Sanches in for Leroy Fer against Leicester City

Sanches in for Fer against Foxes

Renato Sanches has been handed a start as Swansea City host Leicester City this afternoon.

The Portuguese player comes into the starting lineup in place of Leroy Fer, who is suspended after picking up his fifth booking of the season in the 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town last weekend. Paul Clement makes no further changes from last week's game.

Visiting Leicester also make one change from the draw against West Bromwich Albion - which proved to be Craig Shakespeare's last game at the helm - as Shinji Okazaki replaces Kelechi Iheanacho in attack.

Caretaker manager Michael Appleton oversees the Foxes as they try to arrest a six-game winless run in the league.

Swansea City: Fabianski; Naughton, Mawson, Fernandez, Olsson; Britton, Carroll, Sanches; Narsingh, Ayew, Abraham Subs: Nordfeldt, Ki, Van der Hoorn, Dyer, Routledge, Clucas, Rangel

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Maguire, Fuchs; Iborra, Ndidi, Albrighton, Mahrez; Okazaki; Vardy Subs: Hamer, Chilwell, Gray, Iheanacho, King, Amartey, Slimani
