Mawson: Leicester relegation clash so important for Swansea season

Swansea City defender Alfie Mawson has highlighted the importance of this weekend's relegation six-pointer with Leicester City.

The 17th-placed Swans host the 16th-placed Foxes at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday.

"We've been on a good run with some fantastic results, but this will be a different test for us," said in-form centre-back Mawson.

"It was a cruel finish for us at Manchester City, but now we've got to pick ourselves up, prepare for Leicester and make sure we finish the game in the manner we want.

"It's at home, we will have fantastic backing from our fans and it's up to us to get the result everyone wants.

"It's a big game for us – we know how important it could be for our season."
