Skonto Rigga

Southampton v Leicester City rounds off the day’s Premier League action in the evening kick-off.

It’s a 17:30 GMT start at St Mary’s for a fixture with a bit of history: the Foxes won 9-0 here back in 2019.

Both sides are much-changed following their disappointing FA Cup exits.

Only Kyle Walker-Peters, Romeo Lavia and Carlos Alcaraz from the Saints and Wout Faes, Harvey Barnes, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Ricardo Pereira from the visitors remain in their respective sides’ starting XIs from midweek.

James Maddison is back from illness for Leicester but Brendan Rodgers has lost Victor Kristiansen to a four-week injury, so Ricardo gets his first league start of 2022/23 at full-back.

Ruben Selles recalls the fit-again Che Adams up top, while there’s also a run-out for veteran Theo Walcott.

GAMEWEEK 26 LINE-UPS

Southampton XI: Bazunu, Maitland-Niles, Bednarek, Bella-Kotchap, Walker-Peters, Alcaraz, Ward-Prowse, Lavia, Sulemana, Adams, Walcott.

Subs: Caballero, Djenepo, Onuachu, S Armstrong, A Armstrong, Salisu, Elyounoussi, Mara, Perraud.

Leicester City XI: Ward, Pereira, Souttar, Faes, Castagne, Dewsbury-Hall, Mendy, Tete, Maddison, Barnes, Iheanacho.

Subs: Iversen, Amartey, Thomas, Söyüncü, Ndidi, Soumaré, Praet, Daka, Vardy.

KdB having a poor season by many people’s standards, yet incredibly he’s still top for chances created.

Makes it really hard to sell him, knowing a mega haul is just around the corner

    That's right. They've gotten more predictable with Haaland, a big slump that doesn't press, and is substandard in the general build up play.
    Put Kane in and you would have as many goals and less goals against and you can add more assist to it also. Strange decision to buy Håland over Kane apart from the age difference. Kane is much more suited for that City line up and would make them almost unplayable.

Pondered quite a bit about Foden v Maddison as Mahrez's replacement today. Thought about the bald fraud and went with Maddison instead. Could've been vital points in this low scoring GW. But it is what it is. Just need something from Maddison now. Cmon lad.
