Leicester City, Recent FormA 2-2 draw in their last match against Hull City meant Leicester City had to settle for a share of the points. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Hull City's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 34 of their 37 games this season.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Leicester City, Jamie Vardy will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Southampton, Recent FormSouthampton will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 4-2 home win against Sunderland. Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 21 shots along the way, 10 of which were on target. Sunderland had 13 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Whilst manager Russell Martin will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 34 of their 36 games this season.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
With 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Adam Armstrong has given the travelling Southampton support something to shout about on the road.
After a good 1-4 win for Leicester City in this pair's last league encounter, Southampton will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
The Saints will be confident of finding the net in this one against Leicester, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides.
With 2 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against Leicester at their home ground The King Power Stadium, Southampton man Ché Adams will be looking for more of the same in this one.
Leicester manager Enzo Maresca has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kasey McAteer (Physical discomfort), Ricardo Pereira (Hamstring) and Dennis Praet (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Russell Martin has a number of injury concerns in his Southampton squad to contend with: Ryan Fraser (Knee), Juan Larios (Hamstring), Ross Stewart (Muscle) and Kyle Walker-Peters (Muscle)
