• Ralph Hasenhuttl made 10 changes to the side that defeated Tottenham with James Ward-Prowse the only man to keep his place.
• The Saints are expected to name the same starting XI that saw off Spurs but Shane Long will not be too far off a starting place either.

Unavailable: Valery (Illness)

THE PREDICTION

Leicester come up against an in-form Southampton knowing that revenge will be firmly at the forefront of everyone associated with their opponents. Southampton were humiliated as they conceded nine goals when the teams last met but they are a different outfit since then and should avoid defeat.
