Leicester - Southampton Premier League

Leicester – Southampton Premier League

After Brighton-Tottenham and Bournemouth-Manchester United, space to the third advance of the thirty-fifth day of the Premier League.

Southampton is preparing to challenge Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final, but must now think above all to chase salvation: third in the league, he needs to react and get a positive result on the field of Leicester, a team that has fallen in performance last weeks, after obtaining good results for a few months. The defeat last weekend against Burnley, in particular, seems to have put an end to the hopes of the team coached by Claude Puel to qualify for the next edition of the Europa League.

The technical qualities of Riyad Mahrez and the sense of goal of Jamie Vardy could create some problems at Southampton, which will be defenseless without the suspended Jack Stephens, but the guests will have great motivations and will probably be able to conquer at least one point.

The movements of James Ward-Prowse, Dusan Tadic and Shane Long should put Leicester in serious trouble, whose defensive phase is now much less effective than it was in the 2015-2016 season, when he won the national title
dramatically, under the careful guide by Claudio Ranieri.

The probable Leicester-Southampton formations

LEICESTER (4-4-2): Hamer; Simpson, Maguire, Morgan, Chilwell; Mahrez, Adrien Silva, Ndidi, Albrighton; Iheanacho, Vardy.
SOUTHAMPTON (3-4-2-1): McCarthy; Bednarek, Yoshida, Hoedt; Soares, Hojbjerg, Romeu, Bertrand; Ward-Prowse, Tadic; Long.
