Southampton vs Leicester: What are the latest odds ahead of the Premier League clash?
All you need to know ahead of Leicester City's trip to St Mary's
Sponsored by
CLAUDIO Ranieri will be keen for his Leicester City side to turn their form around when they travel to St Mary's on Sunday.
The Foxes have only won one of their last six league matches, a drastic change to last season's form. Claude Puel's Side haven't been producing the results either, losing their last four Premier League matches.
The visitors have failed to hit anywhere near the heights of last season and are hovering above the drop zone.
Their away record is poor this season, having lost seven and drawn three of their ten matches this season - failing to win one.

SunSport prediction
Both sides are not in the best run of form, but Southampton are usually strong at home, and with Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri tinkering with systems and missing Mahrez, a Saints win is likely. 2-0

What is the latest Southampton team news?
The Saints are in the midst of a minor injury crisis, with key defenders Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Bertrand picking up knocks, but should be fit.
Who is definitely out for Southampton?

Doubts: Van Dijk, Bertrand, Davis
What is the latest Leicester team news?
Leicester have a fully fit squad except for striker Leonardo Ulloa, who has a thigh problem and missed the 3-0 loss to Chelsea, but could be fit.
But they are without Daniel Amartey, Islam Slimani and crucially Riyad Mahrez, who are all of AFCON duty in Gabon.
