THE LOWDOWN
LEICESTER
- Despite taking an early lead via an impressive James Maddison strike, Leicester were held to a 1-1 draw away to Chelsea on Thursday evening as The Foxes’ continue their strong end to the campaign.
- Brendan Rodgers side have been missing several key players throughout the campaign and they have been blighted by long-term injuries quite often in recent seasons. However, with a full summer to prepare and no European football to contend with, they will be looking forward to this final round of fixtures.
SOUTHAMPTON
- Southampton took a 1-0 lead at home to title chasing Liverpool on Tuesday before falling to a 2-1 defeat. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Saints have drifted quite worryingly throughout the second-half of the campaign. That defeat means the Hampshire club have now suffered three successive defeats and they have won just one of their last 12 matches in all competitions.
- The visitors still have memories/nightmares of their 9-0 thrashing at the hands of Leicester a couple of seasons ago so it feels only right to mention that once again.

THE PREDICTION
This should be quite an entertaining encounter. Leicester City come into this on the back of a three-match unbeaten run of form, with that 1-1 draw at Chelsea following back-to-back hammerings of already relegated Norwich City and Watford. Southampton have a habit of being hammered. The high and aggressive press played by the Saints can often lead to, when it is exposed, being properly exposed. The visitors have conceded more than everyone in the division bar the current bottom three of Leeds, Norwich and Watford ahead of the final round of fixtures. Goals should be expected in this one with little riding on it.
