Leicester stand at the top position and they are still the main candidate to win the title this season. They are playing amazing this season and they deserve it, but there are 7 matches left until the end of the season, so it will be more than interesting. Home side play fantastic this season, especially at home where they lost only once this season. Their defence is on a very high level. In the last three Premier League matches they didn’t concede a goal. They are not impressive in the attack, but they know how to play in order to make good result. Jamie Vardy get back in the form after he made two very good performance for England national team. First, Vardy scored amazing goal against Germany in a friendly game, while three days later he hit the net against Netherlands. They will be fully motivated to win another game and make one step forward to win the title.

Southampton stand at the 7th position and they still have a chance to reach the Top 5 and play in some of the European competitions next season. They have only 4 points less than 4th Manchester City, but one game more, so they still can reach their goal. In order to achieve their goal they need good result against current leader and the biggest surprise of the season – Leicester City. Visitors are playing very good and their recent performance are on a high level. In the last 11 Premier League matches they lost only two times (7-2-2). Despite their good performance in the last few matches, their defence is not at the high level. In the last 5 league matches they conceded on every game at least one goal.

Leicester vs Southampton injuries and suspensions

Home team should be without their first goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, but according to the latest news he has recovered from an injury and will be available for this game, while Jeff Schlupp is doubtful. On the other side, visitors have the full squad available, except Shane Long, who is doubtful for this game.

Leicester vs Southampton possible lineups

Leicester: Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez, Kante, Drinkwater, Albrighton; Vardy, Okazaki.
Southampton: Forster; Martina, Van Dijk, Fonte, Cedric; Wanyama, Clasie, Davis; Tadic, Pelle, Mane.

Leicester vs Southampton Prediction

Home side have an advantage of home field and they are closer to win this game, but visitors have the same ambitions. I expect very tough game between Leicester vs Southampton and not many goals.

Leicester vs Southampton Betting Tip: under 2.5 goals @ 1.65 (Bet365)
