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.

    I went March over Mac and Mitoma. Points have would have been benched anyway but wondering whether to swap either in for him for next week (or maybe Martinelli but would cost a -4)...

      What if March outscore them next week?

      I would stick, this is Martinelli Odegaard ESR kind of dilemma last time around

      You've made your bed with March so I would stick there. I would consider Martinelli out for a - 4 to Mitoma/Mac

      You chose the players you got for a reason.

    Blimey 23 from 7 and well placed! Salah (C) Nunez Rashford and Tark to come, so unlikely to get many points anyway... a dull week.

    Anyone for a Southampton two players DGW 29

    Ward Prowse & Plus Southampton Deferender?

    Results keep happening when you cannot plan

    Arsenal lucky get out of jail but main players like Saka (C) for many failed!

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I was thinking of getting JWP

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Thinking about this Alcaraz guy, 2 goals in his last 2 starts

    Need to make a decision whether to buy 2nd Brighton mid this week or not.

    Which one wins here? (Both 4 fixtures over 27-29)

    A) Martinelli (2 games) + one of Bowen/Barnes (2 games)
    - Martinelli -Ful a, Palace h +
    - Bowen - New h, Sou h OR Barnes palace a, Villa h
    B) Mitoma (4 games) - Leeds a, Palace h, Bre h, Bou a

      If you can’t do both, toss a coin.
