Paul Clement: 'Swansea City must beat Leicester City'

Swansea City manager Paul Clement declares his side's upcoming match with relegation rivals Leicester City a must-win game.

Swansea City manager Paul Clement has declared his side's Premier League clash with troubled champions Leicester City next weekend a must-win game.

The Swans had given their survival hopes a major boost with three wins in their last four league games before Sunday's late 2-1 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Having seen Hull City and Sunderland both win on Saturday, Swansea now sit just one point clear of the relegation zone - level with a Leicester side who have failed to even score in the league since the turn of the year.

"Every game I have been involved in, we have tried to get the tactics right for the opposition and to try to get a positive result," he told reporters.

"That would have been a draw for this game [against Man City], as I understand there are certain games we are not expected to win.

"But there are games we have to win. Southampton was one of those last week and now Leicester is a game we need to win."

Leicester, who are currently on a four-match losing streak, have so far put in the worst title defence in English top-flight history.
