Southampton predicted XI: Leicester City (A)

Southampton will be looking for revenge for the 9-0 drubbing against Leicester City earlier this season when they travel to the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

You could argue that the capitulation in October proved to be the turning point in Saints’ season as things look much more optimistic in the new year.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side have had a productive winter that helped the side jump up to 12th in the Premier League and progress to the fourth round of the FA Cup following a 2-0 win against Huddersfield last time out.

However, the Foxes have had a remarkable campaign that sees them second in the table and will look for a fourth straight victory against the Saints.

The Huddersfield game saw ten changes to the side with youngsters Will Smallbone and Jake Vokins both getting on the scoresheet, but this line up is likely to revert back to a similar one that overcame Spurs on New Year’s Day.

In his pre-match press conference, Hasenhuttl revealed that he has a near fully-fit squad to choose from with Yan Valery the only absentee for this weekend.

Here’s how we predict the side to line up:
