This season, their stand-out attacking players have been James Maddison (1), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (1), and Timothy Castagne (1). Leicester’s defensive record in the Premier League has so far been very weak, with six goals conceded in their last games. This is an issue that Brendan Rodgers urgently needs to address within the dressing room.

It is likely that three key players will miss Saturday’s fixture, which is something of a concern for Brendan Rodgers and his Leicester team.

A victory for Southampton would put them on 4 points.

Good Attacking Performance

Soton will be pleased to have a good goal scoring record so far this season (3). Their stand out attacking players have been Kyle Walker-Peters (1), Joe Aribo (1), and James Ward Prowse (1). Ralph Hasenhuttl will know the risks of constantly leaking goals throughout the season, with six goals conceded so far. He needs to find a way to shore-up the defence, in order that opponents are unable to take advantage of this.

Soton’s squad will likely be depleted of three of their key players when they start on Saturday, due to injury or illness.
