  3. Ings misses out for Saintspublished at 18:53 British Summer Time 30 April 2021

    Southampton v Leicester (20:00 BST)

    Southampton's top goalscorer Danny Ings will miss tonight's game because of a thigh injury.

    Ralph Hasenhuttl is unsure whether he will play again this season.

    It's a personal blow for Ings, whose form could have put him in contention for England ahead of the Euros.

    Back to Premier League business then.

    Leicester travel to Southampton hoping to consolidate their place in the top four and continue their bid for Champions League qualification.

    Southampton are just after a win after a poor run of form. These two sides met in the FA Cup semi-final a few weeks back too so a bit of revenge might be sweet...
