Both Southampton and Leicester City did not have the strongest of starts to the season but the two sides are at the moment recovering well and are rising on the log. Southampton’s rise is not as fast as Leicester’s though. Leicester are currently eighth on the log on 23 points and unbeaten in their last four matches, that including three straight wins and Southampton are five points back and in 11th place, mainly helped on by their recent run at home, where they have lost just once in the last five. One thing stands out as the two sides head to their Wednesday 13th December meeting – the away side rarely wins this game. In the last 10 meetings, only Leicester have managed an away win, and that was back in 2012. They head to this game on the back of three straight wins and they will be looking to make it four but meet a Southampton side unbeaten in their last two matches at home and was only set back by the late Olivier Giroud goal that snatched a draw for Arsenal in their last game. Southampton head to the game winless in their last three matches; they have managed one win, two draws and two losses in their last five matches and playing at home, they have lost just once, drawing two and winning two of their last five outings and in the process scoring eight goals and conceding five. They have two wins in 11 matches and at home, they have four wins in 17 matches. They have picked four losses in their last 10 Premier League matches and have three wins in their last 10 Premier League matches at home. Leicester City on the other hand, have registered three straight wins, a draw and a loss in their last five matches. Away from home they have posted two wins and three draws in their last five matches, scoring eight goals and conceding six. They are unbeaten in their last six away matches and are also unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches away from home. Leicester have lost once in their last 11 matches. Head to head the two sides have met 54 times and Southampton have registered 22 wins, while Leicester have 16 wins.
