Missing Players and team news:
James Maddison, Ayoze Perez and Hamza Choudhury have all returned to training after missing Leicester’s defeat to West Ham last weekend for breaking COVID-19 protocols. It remains to be seen whether Brendan Rodgers will reward any of them with starts here. Leicester hope to have Turkish international Caglar Soyuncu available from COVID-19 this weekend. Cengiz Under, James Justin and Harvey Barnes remain sidelined, however. Michael Obafemi, Oriol Romeu and William Smallbone remain injured for Southampton, while Takumi Minamino is ineligible after already featuring in the competition with parent club Liverpool. Southampton lost 3-0 to West Brom last weekend but it was pretty much their strongest available XI, which will surely be of worry to Ralph Hassenhuttl. Che Adams, Moussa Djenepo and Nathan Tella are the only real options for change for Southampton.
