These two teams, who came down from the Premier League last season, are both starting to find a little bit of form, but beware the false dawn.

There isn’t much evidence behind their recent upturn, other than getting the results, but often, for the biggest clubs with the best players, momentum can easily start to shift with the results. There should be good entertainment and goals on show.

📈 Southampton v Leicester Form & Stats

Southampton come roaring into this match having won three on the bounce and absolutely swept aside a previously resolute Charlton Athletic 5-1 away on Saturday afternoon. The way that Saints tore through Charlton time after time was refreshing to see after a season of huff and puff. Will Still must be sitting at home wondering where this clinical edge was during his time at the club.

From a statistical perspective, Southampton have always been strong; they are currently second for overall expected goals created, third for shots on target, fourth for big chances created, and they have done this whilst also having the highest percentage of possession in the league at the moment. They have work to do defensively, ranking only 16th for expected goals against.

Leicester have won back-to-back matches in the league for the first time since August, and I have to say that their performance in both matches showed an improvement from much of what we have seen through the season to this point. They won the xG battle in both and restricted their opponents to less than 1 xG on both occasions as well, which suggests that their organisation was an improvement.

Improvement is definitely required as well, though. Leicester’s performance data does not make for pretty reading in any way, lower mid-table for expected goals for, big chances created, and touches in the opponent's penalty area. This is also the case for expected goals against; indeed, they are next door to Southampton in this ranking.

📔 Southampton v Leicester Formation & Team News

Southampton are currently using a 3-4-3, and, given the results, I doubt that we will see a change for Tonda Eckert, the interim manager, for this one. The good thing about this system for the current crop of Saints players is that Tom Fellows can be accommodated as a right wing-back, allowing Finn Azaz and Leo Scienza to both play in the spaces around Adam Armstrong.

There is no fresh injury or suspension news for the Saints, and I would expect them to name the same starting XI as Saturday, with the possible exception of Flynn Downes coming in for debutant Cameron Bragg. Cameron Archer and Elias Jelert are close to returns.

Leicester are continuing to use a 4-2-3-1 system, with Jordan James often being pushed forward as the #10 between stars Abdul Fatawu and Stephy Mavididi. A solid base of Oliver Skipp and Harry Winks provides good protection and ball progression.

Jakub Stolarczyk continues his absence, so Asmir Begovic will deputise. Abdul Fatawu is a new injury concern; a decision might be left late. There are no more injury or suspension issues for Leicester since Saturday.
