Premier League
3pm Saturday

Leicester had looked nailed-on to secure seventh place but they have been impacted by the deadline-day saga of Riyad Mahrez's failed move to Manchester City and could be a team to oppose in the short term.

Mahrez has been key to the Foxes' rise up the table and his absence puts pressure on Jamie Vardy to be their matchwinner.

Swansea's deadline day was much more positive with Andre Ayew returning to the club. They are unbeaten in six games and can pick up another valuable point.
