Leicester City have only ever lost one Premier League home game against Southampton going into Sunday’s latest King Power Stadium clash.
Team news
Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel should be fit despite suffering a minor muscle injury while on international duty with Denmark, meaning Claudio Ranieri could name the same side which won at Crystal Palace a fortnight ago.
Southampton, meanwhile, have a doubt over Ryan Bertrand, who sustained a calf injury in the win over Liverpool last time out, but Shane Long is expected to be fit despite picking up a knock on international duty.
Kick-off at the King Power Stadium on Sunday is at 1.30pm.
