Following a defensive capitulation against Manchester United last Saturday, Leicester kept a clean sheet against Porto in their first home Champions League fixture. They will like their chances of a return to winning ways in the league here, especially when Southampton had a battling game in Israel on Thursday night, though Claude Puel did rotate his team heavily in a 0-0 draw.
