Pick of the stats: Leicester City v Southampton

Leicester City and Southampton will put their opposing veins of form to the test when they meet at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).

The Foxes have lost four of their past five Championship matches (D1) and a six point deduction means they only steer clear of the relegation zone on goal difference.

While Saints have won three of their past four (D1) and are now just four points shy of the play-off places.

• Leicester City have won four of their last five home league games against Southampton (L1), winning 5-0 in April 2024 when the sides last met at the King Power Stadium in the Championship.
• Southampton won 3-0 in the reverse fixture with Leicester City in November this season and could now complete a league double over the Foxes for the first time since the 2022-23 Premier League campaign – they last did so outside of the top-flight in 2007-08 in the Championship.
• Leicester City have lost their last two home league games, last losing three in a row in the same Championship campaign in their final three home matches of the 2006-07 campaign under Nigel Worthington.
• Southampton's 2-0 win at Stoke last month ended a run of six Championship away games without victory (D2 L4), and the Saints could win back-to-back league matches of the road for only the second time since the start of last season, previously doing so in November this season.
• Leicester City are winless in each of their last 11 midweek league matches (Tue/Wed/Thu – D4 L7), since a 3-1 home win over West Ham in December 2024. Their last such win in the Championship was at home to Southampton in April 2024 (5-0).
