Southampton's fortunes weren't improved by ditching Nathan Jones, and they won't when Leicester City makes the trip either — FarleyWrites has more.
Despite this being a terrible season for Leicester City, they’ve scored 36 goals in 24 games, 17 more than Southampton in the same timeframe. They’ve allowed one more goal than the Saints, with 42 but that shouldn’t matter here given that Southampton are so bad in front of goal.
Che Adams, their top-scoring striker, on a terrible four, is a doubt for this game. Paul Onuachu, who arrived from Genk in January having scored 16 goals in half a season, hasn’t found the net in four games for Southampton. If there’s one team Leicester can get away with their defensive vulnerabilities against, it’s Southampton, who are incredibly blunt going forward. There’s no doubt Leicester will score in this one and even their poor backline should be able to keep a clean sheet.
In James Maddison, they have the best player in the bottom half of the Premier League, something shown by his nine goals and five assists this season. He missed their last game but should be able to play here, even if it’s from the bench and he could be decisive. If Leicester can keep the goal-shy Southampton out then they’ll be able to win this game. They’ve won two of their past four in the league and look far more capable of escaping the threat of relegation than the Saints.
