Kick-off: 15:00 GMT, Saturday 14th January 2023
Venue: King Power Stadium, Leicester
With both teams struggling for form, this weekend's clash between Leicester City and Southampton promises to be a fascinating encounter.
Leicester City have had a difficult season so far. After winning the FA Cup last year, many expected them to challenge for a European place this season. However, they have struggled for consistency and find themselves in 14th place in the Premier League table.
Southampton have also had a tough season. They are currently bottom of the table and have only won one of their last 10 games.
Both teams will be desperate for a win on Saturday. Leicester will want to reignite their season, while Southampton will be looking to climb out of the relegation zone.
