Leonardo Ulloa has been given the nod in Jamie Vardy's absence as Leicester City's title quest continues with a home game against Swansea City this afternoon.

Leading goalscorer Vardy will play no part at the King Power Stadium because he is suspended, which has given the Argentine his chance alongside Shinji Okazaki up front.

Manager Claudio Ranieri has also opted to make one further change, with winger Marc Albrighton being replaced by Jeffrey Schlupp for his first league start of 2016.

Like the hosting Foxes, Swansea head coach Francesco Guidolin has made a couple of alterations to his team.

The duo that have been reinstated into the side are Leon Britton and Wayne Routledge at the expense of Jefferson Montero and Alberto Paloschi.

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Mahrez, Kante, Drinkwater, Schlupp; Okazaki, Ulloa
Subs: Schwarzer, Chilwell, Wasilewski, Gray, Amartey, Albrighton, King

Swansea City: Fabianski; Rangel, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor; Britton, Fer, Cork, Sigurdsson, Routledge; Ayew
Subs: Nordfeldt, Naughton, Amat, Ki Sung-Yueng, Barrow, Montero, Paloschi.
