Recent respective form guides
Leicester City have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. These low-scoring games have seen just 3 goals scored and conceded.
Southampton's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Saints have hit 7 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Leicester City find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 21 points from their 17 matches. Southampton see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 23 points from their 18 games played so far,
