Southampton vs. Leicester live stream: Watch Premier League online
Southampton face Leicester City at Saint Mary’s on Sunday, Jan. 22. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
These two clubs faced off earlier in the year, which saw them settle for a 0-0 draw. Since then, things haven’t gone either club’s way. Southampton have lost four straight matches, got outscored 10-3 during that span,and have fallen outside the top 10 into 13th. The Saints have failed to live up to the pre-season hype that saw them as a solid top 10 team.
Their leading scorer, Charlie Austin, is out with a shoulder injury and there isn’t a time-table for his return yet. Jay Rodriguez has been filling in for the 27-year-old, but doesn’t seem to bring the same qualities Austin brought in.
The recent transfer of top defender Jose Fonte to West Ham also doesnt make it an easier task for them when the reigning Premier League champs head to Saint Mary’s.
Leicester have had a difficult time getting over their magnificent title win last year, but have been faring well in Champions League and FA Cup play. With Riyad Mahrez, Islam Slimani and Daniel Amartey all out due to Africa Cup of Nations duty, the Foxes will need a big push from the rest of their squad.
