Match Preview: 

Southampton have started the new Premier League season with a draw at home to Burnley and then defeat away to Everton where they lost 2-1. It has been on the face of it an uneventful start for the Saints. However last week at Goodison Park and 2-0 down they did show heart to pull one goal back and did start to come back into the game and that should be applauded. They will need to carry at least their second half performance into this game if they are to get anything from it.

Leicester predictablity lost away to Manchester United although played the better football and got a vital victory at home over Wolves 2-0 and sit in 8^th place. The problem for the Foxes is that star striker Jamie Vardy was sent off after receiving a straight red and will now miss the next 3 league games. This is an obvious blow to the club ahead of the game at the weekend.
