It’s time for some statistics as we look ahead to the Swans’ Premier League clash with Leicester City at the Liberty Stadium this afternoon (3pm).

The Swans will be looking to build on last weekend's victory over Huddersfield Town and claim back-to-back wins on home soil.

Ahead of the game, we’ve taken a look at the game from a statistical perspective.

 

Swansea

1 - In last week's 2-0 win over Huddersfield, Tom Carroll registered his first Premier League assist in 19 games - since March (v Burnley).

6 - Since his debut for Swansea in February, Jordan Ayew has been directly involved in more Premier League goals than any other current Swans player (two goals, four assists).

80 - Abraham has scored a higher share of his team’s goals than any other player in the Premier League in 2017-18 (80% - 4/5).

40.7 - Paul Clement has the best win percentage of any Swansea manager in Premier League history (40.7%).

Leicester City
