Swansea's now-look defence must stay tight to limit Leicester's threat

To say Leicester bucked a trend last season by winning the Premier League is an understatement. It has been equally refreshing to see the club continue to break tradition by managing to hold on to most of their star players this summer.

Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez were courted by Arsenal but both men have signed new contracts to stay with the smaller club, at least in the short term. Not only have Leicester managed to retain their brightest attacking players, they've added another in Ahmed Musa.

Swansea, meanwhile, are adjusting to life without defensive rock Ash Williams, and an apparent changing of the guard is underway at left-back too, with youngster Stephen Kingsley outperforming Neil Taylor and taking his starting place.
