Here are the Leicester and Southampton confirmed lineups, plus the latest team news for their EFL Championship clash. The Foxes’ dismal start to 2026 continues, as they now reside in 21st place following a defeat to Birmingham City. The likelihood of relegation becomes more and more likely as the season goes on, especially as a new manager is yet to be appointed. A win against Southampton, a side they have a great record against, could stand well for this ongoing struggle.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

Leicester City Team News<\/h3>\n

Following Saturday’s game<\/span><\/a>, Andy King discussed his side’s challenges as yet another early red card plagued their chances:<\/p>\n

\u201c We can’t shoot ourselves in the foot and then expect to get out of jail.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Aside from this, the squad is also relatively depleted. Bobby De Cordova Reid is suspended, Joe Aribo is ineligible, while five others are out with injury. The most detrimental figure on the sidelines remains Jordan James, who has provided nine goals this season.<\/p>\n

With the recent new signings beginning to bed in, it will be interesting to see whether any new faces can make a difference.<\/p>\n

Southampton Team News<\/span><\/h3>\n

As for the Saints, like Leicester, they are experiencing an underwhelming campaign. However, despite sitting 14th, they are just four points off the elusive play-off positions, which makes a win at King Power Stadium all the more important.<\/p>\n

Despite no changes in his last two fixtures, Saints boss Tonda Exckert is looking to make a ‘couple of changes’<\/a>. This comes as little surprise given the busy schedule, where the two sides will meet each other in this weekend’s FA Cup round.<\/p>\n
