Team news: Leicester City vs Southampton

Southampton have the opportunity to put some pressure on the teams around them as they face Leicester City in the Premier League tomorrow night.

Due to Saints’ participation in the FA Cup, the tie has been rescheduled from its original date, which was due to be this Saturday.

Mark Hughes is set for another huge evening as Saints boss as he looks to help his side secure their Premier League status despite being in a sticky position.

The meeting between the two sides earlier in the season saw an easy 4-1 win for the Foxes at St Mary’s against a poor Saints side.

Both sides have been hit with injuries throughout the course of the season and there are plenty of updates on the condition of both teams’ players ahead of tomorrow night’s clash.

Steven Davis is set to travel with the Saints squad to the King Power after being sidelined for nearly two months.
