Both Ronald Koeman and Claudio Ranieri will no doubt have spent the international break satisfied at the starts made by their respective clubs. Leicester have lost only once in the league to sit an unlikely fifth, but Southampton’s unbeaten away record has not been replicated at St Mary’s, something they will aim to put right on Saturday, despite the loss of the striker Shane Long to a foot injury.
