Leicester v Southampton: match preview

After beating Liverpool in their most recent league match, Southampton will travel with confidence to the King Power, where they gained sweet revenge last season for their infamous 9-0 defeat earlier in the campaign. Ralph Hassenhüttl’s side have lost only once on their travels this season and could climb above Leicester with a win. But with Danny Ings absent that seems an unlikely outcome even if Leicester have found the going curiously tough at home, winning only three of eight matches. Paul Doyle
