Leicester City v Swansea City: survival fight meets mid-table push | OneFootball

Leicester City host Swansea City in the Championship on 11 April 2026, with the hosts in the relegation places and the visitors 15th.

Leicester City have dominated the recent head-to-head, winning six of the last eight meetings, and now seek a vital result against Swansea City to ease pressure near the bottom.

The Foxes have drawn their last three league matches, steadying after a March defeat. Swansea City followed back-to-back losses with two high-scoring draws, 3-3 at Sheffield United and 2-2 against Middlesbrough, suggesting goals at both ends.

The Foxes are without Jordan James and Victor Kristiansen through injury, while Swansea City are missing Josh Key and Ethan Galbraith. Those absences trim options in midfield and at full back on both sides.

Swansea City tend to control more of the ball, averaging 55% possession with 80.19% pass accuracy, and are led by Championship top scorer Zan Vipotnik on 20 goals, with Josh Tymon providing nine assists. The Foxes' threat may come from transitions and wide supply, with Abdul Fatawu on nine goals and seven assists. Defensively, the Foxes have kept only five clean sheets and could be tested by Swansea City's patient build-up. Equally, their 52% possession and 81.71% passing suggest they can play through pressure when chances arise.

A win would move the Foxes to 44 points and could pull them closer to safety. Swansea City would climb to 57 points and could push towards the top half with a strong finish.
