Match Information

The King Power Stadium, Leicester, England

English Premier League

Key Stat: Leicester City's ten wins so far this season is bettered only by table-topping Manchester United.
Expert Verdict: Southampton's rebuilding under Ralph Hassenhuttl is showcased well by this fixture - the Foxes having scored nine at St Mary's last season at the nadir of the Saints' season. They have bounced back so well, but they go into this game as outsiders. Missing Danny Ings up front, they could find the gap to the top four opens up this weekend.
