Leicester v Southampton Premier League
This formation is behind the “giants” of English football, which comprise the so-called top 6, which are Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.
The somewhat questionable strategy made by French coach Claude Puel, was viewed with much apprehension by fans, he sacrificed the club’s participation in the cups,
where he made many changes to the team in the League Cup, where he was eliminated by Manchester United, and did the same in the FA Cup, where in this cup was eliminated by Newport.
Now all the attention is turned to the English Championship. Puel’s team need to improve their performance at home, Leicester at Power Stadium has only 14 points with four wins, two draws and four defeats.
After the defeat to the FA Cup with Newport County. Claude Puel hopes his team will recover from the unexpected defeat and try to go further in the standings.
For the meeting on Saturday, the French coach should make his best eleven, as he has almost all the squad available. The only exception is Daniel Amartey who is in charge of the medical department.
Southampton are having a disastrous season, with 16 points with three wins, seven draws and 11 losses, currently in the red zone of the English Premier League ranking in 18th place.

For the England Cup, the team must make a second game against Derby, as they drew 2-2 away, which will require the team to make another match to define who follows in the competition.
Football Prediction Leicester vs Southampton
Ralph Hasenhuttl, who has just been elected, is still undecided about which strategy to use as he has begun to win, but has recently had negative results.
Southampton are now in a fierce fight for relegation, with 2 points behind the safety zone. For Saturday’s game, defender Ryan Bertrand and striker Michael Obafemi appear to be unfit.
The Foxes with their recent league appearances, which have led them to beat Chelsea and Manchester City, should be enough to ensure victory.
