Having done the double over Leicester in their last Premier League campaign together of 2022-23, Southampton lost both Championship meetings with the Foxes last term by an aggregate score of 9-1.

Leicester are winless in their last three Premier League away games against Southampton (D2 L1) since a 9-0 win under Brendan Rodgers in October 2019.

Southampton are winless in their last 20 Premier League games (D5 L15) – failure to win in this match would set a club record for their outright longest winless run in their top-flight history.

Leicester are one of just three teams (along with Arsenal and Man City) to have scored in every Premier League game so far this season. The Foxes earned their first win of the campaign last time out, last winning consecutively in the competition in February 2023.

Southampton are averaging 16.6 sequences of 10+ passes in open play per game in the Premier League this season; it’s the third highest average overall this term, and by far Saints’ highest on record (since 2014-15) in a single campaign (previously 10.1 in 2020-21).

Leicester have had fewer shots than any other Premier League side this season (58). However, their nine goals gives them a shot conversion rate of 15.5%, with only Chelsea and Brentford (both 16.7%) managing higher so far.

Though they’ve had the fifth highest share of possession in the Premier League this season (57.4%), just 3.2% of Southampton’s touches have come in the opposition box, the third lowest ratio this term.

Southampton have conceded more goals following a high turnover than any other side in the Premier League this season (4).

Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has been involved in 12 goals against Southampton in his English league career (8 goals, 4 assists) – against no side has he had a hand in more. Six of these eight goals have come at St Mary’s Stadium, including a hat-trick in October 2019.

Leicester captain Jamie Vardy has scored two goals from five shots in the Premier League this season – no player to have had at least five attempts has a better conversion rate than Vardy (40%).
