Can we go 2nd place?! Match Preview!

We are sitting comfortably in 3rd place at the moment, 1 point behind Liverpool. If we win this weekend, we can go 2nd place, depending on how the Everton and Liverpool match go, but Liverpool face league leaders Man United, so one of those teams will be dropping some points, so hopefully we can capitalize this weekend and edge even closer to the top spot!

BUT, this weekend Leicester with host the Saints at the King Power, and before we get ahead of ourselves, we need to pick up all 3 points against a very solid Southampton side to be in for a run for the top spot this season. No one wants to get ahead, but we are very capable of doing the impossible again, all we need a bit of consistency! Why not eh?!

We have played Southampton a total of 28 times in the Premier League, winning 11 matches, losing 8 and drawing 9 of those matches…
Hopefully we can get another win, maybe not a 9-0 victory, but whatever gets us the 3 points!

Leicester’s Last Five: Won 2, Drawn 2 & Lost 1
Southampton’s Last Five: Won 1, Drawn 3 & Lost 1
It is safe to say that both clubs are on very similar form at the moment, who will come out on top?!

Turkish forward Cengiz Under is a doubt for this match with an ankle injury, and so is midfield play-maker James Maddison, who was linked with a move to Manchester United last summer. Match fitness of star striker Jamie Vardy is also a doubt, given the player is recovering from a hip injury. Midfielder Denis Praet and full-back Ricardo Pereira are also recovering from injuries and are doubts for the clash against Southampton.
