Liam Cullen | Leicester game an exciting challenge

Liam Cullen and Swansea City are excited about the challenge of taking on Leicester City and the forward is confident of a great atmosphere at the Swansea.com Stadium on Saturday.

The in-form Swans have taken 13 points from the last 15 available, and won their last four games in a row against Sheffield Wednesday, Millwall, Norwich City and Plymouth Argyle.

Leicester, meanwhile, have won 10 of their 11 league fixtures this term and are currently top of the pile in the Championship.

The Swans will start as underdogs against a Foxes team still boasting a top-flight calibre squad following their relegation at the end of last term.

But it’s a challenge Cullen – who made his Wales debut during the recent international break – and the Swans will relish with a big home crowd cheering them on.

“It is still very early on in the season, there is a lot of football still to be played and I think the aim for us now is to become that consistent team by continuing to show what we have shown over these last four or five games,” said the striker.

“It’s been a real team effort from everyone. It’s not just about the 11 who have started games, but we have had subs coming off the bench, bringing energy and making an impact. You just look at Ollie Cooper in the Plymouth game, everyone is playing their part.

“Hopefully we can keep kicking on, and taking on the league leaders at home is an exciting game to come back to.

“The fans have been brilliant with us and the atmosphere they have created in these last few games has been incredible, and I’m sure they are looking forward to it as much as we are.

“I think it’s going to be a great atmosphere and it’s an exciting challenge for us.”
