Leicester destroyed Southampton 9-0 earlier in the season but Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side have improved considerably since then. They now sit 12th after residing in the relegation zone with Danny Ings, in particular, catching the eye. His nine goals in Southampton’s last 10 matches have been crucial to their revival. Leicester are unlikely to be fazed but Brendan Roders will need to make sure his side avoid any complacency. Anything other than victory will likely allow Manchester City to regain second place.
