Swansea City - Leicester City preview: Monk out to derail visitors' title bid

The Foxes have enjoyed a blistering start to the Premier League season but the Swans are keen to halt their momentum and their apparent title charge

Two teams who have had contrasting starts to the season meet in the Premier League on Saturday when Swansea City welcome Leicester City to the Liberty Stadium.

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.

But their opponents' mood is completely different, with pre-season relegation candidates Leicester flying high in second place and only behind leaders Manchester City on goal difference.

Claudio Ranieri's men have only lost one of their last 18 top-flight matches, stretching back to their impressive finish to the 2014-15 campaign.

Ahead of the game, Monk has praised Leicester for a brilliant opening third of the season, but doubts they will have the staying power of some of their apparent title rivals.

"I believe Leicester have done fantastically, it is brilliant what they have done," Monk was quoted as saying by The Mirror.

"History shows you that in terms of whether they are title contenders, the answer is probably not. But they are genuine top-six contenders."
