Leicester City will look to move one step closer to winning the 2015-16 English Premier League title when they resume their chase in Week 35 of competition.
Leicester City will look to protect their slim advantage in the title race when they host Swansea City at King Power Stadium on Sunday.
The Foxes are still on top of the table, but they are now just five points ahead of second-placed Tottenham Hotspur after settling for a 2-2 draw with West Ham last week. They need a win in order to move closer to clinching the title, but they will have to do it without Jamie Vardy.
Vardy will serve a one-game suspension for getting booked twice during their 2-2 draw against West Ham. The 29-year-old striker was also charged with improper conduct by the Football Association, which means he could also be handed additional suspension depending on the investigation.

But while they will be without Vardy against West Ham and probably next week, Leicester City defender Danny Simpson believes they have enough pieces to maintain their grip on the top spot.
"Other players have scored in the team and before last week Vards hadn't scored for five or six games, so we'll deal with it," Simpson said via Irish Examiner. "We've got other players who can come in."
