Southampton have failed to pick up a win in their past four Premier League matches and next up they take on Leicester City – a team who are right now in the top three.
The Foxes have made a great start to their new season under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers and so far they have lost just two out of their first 9 matches in the league.
The Saints did make a decent enough start to their campaign but during the past month, their form has slumped and they are out of the relegation zone based only on goal difference.
Southampton did manage to hold Wolves to a 1-1 draw away from home last weekend but picking up points vs Leicester City will be a totally different ballgame.
