Nigel Pearson will aim to continue his side’s renaissance against Southampton who have dipped in form by comparison in recent weeks. Leicester have won five of their past six games and will know that another victory will take them toward safety. Ronald Koeman is missing key players in Morgan Schneiderlin and Dusan Tadic and could struggle to break down Leicester as a result. Graham Searles
