Leicester enters this match unmotivated after a 2-1 loss for the FA Cup in the Newport arena. Vardy is the main attack's reference. It will not be surprising that Leicester opted to play a 4-3-3 tactical design to channel their offensive process through the center corridor. The home club manager will not be able to count on Morgan, James and Amartey for being injured.

Analysis Southampton

The away team is currently in the 18th position of the league, with 16 points won, after 3 wins, 7 draws and 11 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Manchester City, by (1‑3). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Chelsea, by (0‑0).

In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Southampton comes to the match game after a 2-2 draw at the Derby's field. Contrary to the "enemy" of this round, Southampton often work in a 4-3-3, favoring a more offensive game where the three most advanced men are Redmond, Ings and Armstrong. The visiting set usually practices a football in counterattacks, more disorganized, trying to take advantage of any mistake of the opponent. The coach of the outsiders should not be able to count on Bertrand for this day.
