Match Preview:

Leicester have hit a wall and the motivation for the team seems to have drifted away after an impressive middle run in this campaign. Back to back losses against Newcastle and then Burnley have highlighted the clubs problem of starting games slow, finding themselves two goals down and the game then having to be chased.

The Foxes could slip as low as 10^th this season from their current position of 8^th but their slim chances of European football next season are now over as their recent losses mean they are 11 points adrift of 6^th place.

At home Leicester have a miserable recent record where they haven’t recorded a win in 3 months, drawing 3 games and losing their last match. The club will be expected to put that right on Thursday evening.

Southampton have given two huge fights in their last two matches against Arsenal and Chelsea. However scoring 4 goals in those games has yielded zero points and the club will more than likely be feeling down.

And down they are set to go with recent form meaning that they are 5 points from safety. In all reality, lose this game and it looks almost impossible that the Saints will be able to recover. The club has not won an away game for 10 weeks.
