With such a tight Premier League table, both teams are right in the mix for Champions League and Europa League places this season.

Saints were seventh coming into the weekend with 29 points, three behind Leicester, and they can overtake the Foxes with victory here by more than one goal.

Both clubs arrive in this game with decent form. Southampton beat Liverpool last time out, reducing Ralph Hasenhuttl to tears, while Leicester beat Newcastle at St James’ Park.
