Prediction
Southampton had a worrying start to the season but have now begun to show signs of their form from last year. Graziano Pelle and Sadio Mane have been particularly threatening with 5 and 4 goals respectively.
Leicester on the other hand have been playing some spectacular football right from the beginning of the season. Jamie Vardy has caught the eye enough up front to earn himself an England cap.
There could be plenty of goals in this one as both sides play expansive football, but its difficult to pick a winner.
