Meanwhile, the Saints are also yet to register their first win of the season. They have a draw and a defeat to their name. With both teams managing just one point till now, the upcoming clash will provide them with an opportunity to get their maiden three points of the season.

The transfer window for Leicester City has been mainly about keeping hold of their current players than buying new ones. A lot of rumours were surrounding the future of James Maddison, Wesley Fofana, Youri Tielemans and Jamie Vardy. It is unclear how many of these players will still be with the club at the end of the transfer window. Nonetheless, they all will be in line to play this weekend. With not many notable injuries to their squad, Southampton could more or less start the same team that played in their last game.
Leicester City possible line-up: Ward, Fofana, Evans, Soyuncu, Castagne, Tielemans, Ndidi, Justin, Maddison, Dewsbury-Hall, Vardy
Southampton possible line-up: Bazunu, Bella-Kotchap, Bednarek, Salisu, Walker-Peters, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Djenepo, Armstrong, Aribo, Adams
