April 24, 2016 17:29

(Baonghean.vn) - Tonight (10:15 p.m., April 24), the "Foxes" will welcome their opponent "Black Swan"in the 35th round of the Premier League. The home team took the field without the service of their main striker - Vardy, making many people skeptical about a victory. However, facing a Swansea City that had lost its motivation to compete,Leicester will stand firm to keep the 3 points, continue the final steps to winPremier League crown.

At a crucial moment, the Foxes are facing personnel difficulties. For the first time this season, they are without their main striker Jamie Vardy in attack, having received a red card in the match against West Ham last weekend. That is Leicester's biggest disadvantage when the race for the Premier League title is in the final stages with Tottenham "obstructing" behind. Playing with almost only one squad since the beginning of the season is causing coach Claudio Ranieri a headache in finding a replacement.

Perhaps in tonight's match, Leonardo Ulloa will be put on the field from the start by coach Claudio Ranieri to pair with Shinji Okazaki in attack. With his strength in pressing and seizing opportunities at close range, Leonardo Ulloa will cause trouble for Swansea's defense and create breakthroughs from inside the penalty area. Coach Ranieri can also push the squad up with attacks in a different way.

The home team's main striker Vardy was suspended, causing Leicester's attack to be interrupted.

The Premier League throne is waiting to be calledLeicester City, that is the biggest motivation for them to be determined to defeat a "Black Swan" that has lost motivation and become weak. Obviously, the fighting spirit of the "Foxes" is higher than ever. Coach Ranieri also declared that his students will fight at all costs to win the Premier League championship. "Now, our goal is to win the Premier League. There is only this goal left. I believe the players will do it." - Coach Ranieri confidently shared.

Their determination was evident in the match against West Ham last week. Despite playing with one less player, Leicester still came back to draw 2-2 with a strong opponent. At this nerve-wracking moment, the lack of force and the pressure before the coronation moment require a "Foxes" with a clear head and "talking" legs.

Only 8 more points are needed to become Premier League champions. The right to self-determination is in the hands of coach Ranieri and his team, first of all, to win convincingly against Swansea tonight. The glory of the 132-year history of establishment and development requires them to stand firm against the remaining "poisonous winds" to win the Premier League championship for the first time. Just one draw and one loss, all the achievements from the beginning of the season until now will collapse right before the eyes of the "foxes".

Thiếu vắng Vardy nhưng
Without Vardy, the Foxes will still stand firm.

Fortunately for the King Power team, the obstacle ahead is a Swansea team that has been relegated and has no more goals to strive for. Coach Guidolin's team also suffered a 0-3 defeat to the "red lantern" team Newcastle last week. Even if the "Black Swan" takes the field with its strongest squad this time, it will be difficult to avoid returning empty-handed.

Current form and history of confrontation are supporting the home team to make that a reality. With what coach Claudio Ranieri and his team have shown, tonight, in "an uncompromising battle", they will stand firm and win. The "throne" in the highest football tournament in the foggy country - Premier League urges Leicester City to do that.

Expected lineup:

Leicester: Scmeichel – Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs – Mahrez, Kante, Drinkwater, Albrighton – Okazaki, Ulloa

Swansea: Fabianski – Rangel, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor – Cork, Fer – Ayew, Sigursson, Montero - Paloschi.
