Southampton, Recent FormSouthampton boss Russell Martin will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 5-0 away mauling from Sunderland. In that game they had 68% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Sunderland who had 18 attempts and 10 on target.
Whilst Martin will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 16 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 17 games.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
Adam Armstrong will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Southampton.
Leicester City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Hull City will have left the Leicester City squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they recorded 64 % of the possession, with 19 attempts on goal, 1 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 7 shots on goal.
Manager Enzo Maresca will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
With 5 victories from their last 6 matches, they really have put together an impressive run of league form.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Southampton that came out on top with a 1-0 win.
Southampton will be confident of finding the net in this one against The Foxes, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 5 encounters between the two sides.
Leicester has lost the last 2 times they've faced Southampton in the league.
Ché Adams will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Southampton against Leicester in this one, having netted 3 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
Southampton manager Russell Martin has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Juan Larios (Unknown), Will Smallbone (Ankle), Jack Stephens (Calf) and Ross Stewart (Achilles tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Leicester manager Enzo Maresca ahead of this clash, with Conor Coady (Foot) missing out, which gives Maresca a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
