Southampton will be aiming to rise from their slump when they battle the Foxes for the second time in less than two weeks. While they continue to struggle with their form in the Premier League, all they need now is a victory to ensure survival in the top flight.

Leicester City, meanwhile, are in the thick of the action at the top of the table, as they continue to hold on to their Champions League place on the table. A couple of recent wins seem to have doused any immediate danger of being displaced, leaving them on course for a top-four finish this term.

Southampton vs Leicester City Team News

Since the turn of the year, Southampton's own turnaround of fortunes have seen them slip down the table in a disappointing fashion, having looked fit enough to challenge for European qualification earlier on in the season. And they have suffered a huge twelve defeats during this period of decline.

However, Southampton are not in any immediate danger of relegation, as they sit nine points above the drop-zone. As earlier stated, they need just a solitary win to ensure that they stay afloat in the Premier League, and copping that win in this fixture would also put an end to a negative run of three defeats in all competitions.

In their latest defeat, Southampton left White Hart Lane with their heads hanging low, having finished the match on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline. On the half-hour mark, the Saints grabbed the lead through Danny Ings. Subsequently, Gareth Bale equalized for the hosts in the second half, and then, the comeback was complete in the final minute, as Son Heung-min fired home from the spot to nick all the points from Soton.

Interestingly, Leicester City pulled a comeback victory of their own on Monday, beating Crystal Palace by a 2-1 scoreline. Kelechi Iheanacho was the culprit again, striking late on to snatch an important win for Leicester.

Meanwhile, Leicester City's form has been brilliant lately, as their latest success would mark their third successive victory in all competitions. Moreover, this run was kickstarted by their 1-0 narrow triumph over Southampton in the semifinals of the FA Cup, booking them a spot in the cup final against Chelsea.

Having accrued an impressive total of 62 points from 33 league games, the Foxes currently occupy third position on the league table. That said, Leicester sit somewhat comfortably in top four, seven points above 5th-placed West Ham, as they battle for a return to the Champions League.

Leicester City will travel to St Mary's Stadium with fond memories, having dealt Southampton a 9-0 drubbing in the corresponding fixture last season. Unfortunately, Southampton have suffered a repeat of this result at the hands of Manchester United this term.

Injured or Suspended Players

Southampton: Michael Obafemi, Will Smallbone and Sam McQueen.

Southampton vs Leicester Predictions

Although Leicester's away form has taken a hit lately, they still boast one of the best away records in the English top flight. Meanwhile, albeit unsurprisingly, Southampton have kept just one clean sheet in their last 15 matches in the league.

Given the gulf in quality between both teams, there can be only one winner here. With Iheanacho and Vardy firing on all cylinders, we have our money on the Foxes to run riot in this fixture.
