Team News: Bafetimbi Gomis returns for Swansea City

Bafetimbi Gomis is restored in attack by Garry Monk for Swansea City's home clash with Leicester City.

Bafetimbi Gomis has been restored in attack by Garry Monk for Swansea City's home clash with Leicester City this afternoon.

With Eder likely to endure a lengthy spell on the sidelines after picking up suspected ankle ligament damage against Liverpool last weekend, Gomis comes back into the starting XI as he continues to hunt for his first goal since August.

That is Monk's only changed to the side which lost 1-0 at Anfield, as Jefferson Montero again has to make do with a place on the bench, while Jonjo Shelvey is left out of the matchday squad entirely despite returning from suspension.

For joint league leaders Leicester, there is a single alteration as Leonardo Ulloa replaces Shinji Okazaki alongside Jamie Vardy in attack.

Vardy unsurprisingly leads the line as he looks to match an 84-year-old top-flight record by scoring in his 12th consecutive game.

Swansea City: Fabianski; Naughton, Bartley, Williams, Taylor; Britton, Ki; Sigurdsson, Ayew, Routledge; Gomis
Subs: Nordfeldt, Rangel, Fernandez, Cork, Montero, Barrow, Emnes

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Mahrez, Kante, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Ulloa; Vardy
Subs: Schwarzer, King, Schlupp, Okazaki, Wasilewski, Benalouane, Inler
