Key players

Analysis:

The Saints have not been impressive in the Premier League this season and are languishing in the bottom section of the table. They are coming on the back off a defeat at the hands of Tottenham and lost the game 1-2. In spite of the opening goal by Danny Ings, the Saints failed to capitalize on the good start and eventually fell short. They have to be on their toes in this game in order to match up to the level of Leicester City.

Leicester City on the other hand have been quite dominant this season and have displayed good football in all the games they have played in. The Foxes have registered 19 wins so far in the tournament and are coming on the back off 2 straight wins. In the last game against Crystal Palace, Timothy Castagne and Kelechi Iheanacho scored 1 goal each, to seal off the game for Leicester. A good win in this game would further solidify their position in the points table.
