Football. ua presents a preview of the match between Lester and Southampton in the 35th round of the Premier League.

Leicester - Southampton Thursday, 21:45, Leicester, King Power Stadium.

Approximate compositions:.

Leicester: Hamer - Simpson, Morgan, Maguire, Chilwell - Mares, Silva, Ndidi, Albrighton - Ocaca, Vardi.

Southampton: McCarthy - Bednarek, Yoshida, Hudt - Cedric, Hoybjerg, Romeu, Bertrand - Ward-Pryus, Tadic - Long.

Scorers: Vardi, 17 - Austin, 7.

Do not play: James - Davis, Stevens.

In doubt: Iborra, Amarti, Schmeichel - ... Lester, in fact, there is nothing to fight in the current campaign. "Foxes" do not exactly fly, but the seventh place that gives the right to the League of Europe (if Southampton does not win the FA Cup) is unlikely to take.

But the "saints" will fight not for life, but for death. They are in the relegation zone, behind the 17th place by five points and the King Power Stadium is seen in such conditions as an ideal place to finally win.

However, specifically for this match, Lester can come out with a highly motivated. For sure, the mentor "fox" Claude Puel remained personal scores with Southampton. Last season, he brought the "saints" to the League Cup final and finished with them in the first half of the table, but at the end of the season was dismissed for not very spectacular game. As life has shown, southerners are very much mistaken ... Interesting facts:.

- In December, Lester won 4: 1 and for the first time since the 1999/2000 season can beat Southampton twice in the course of one championship in the Premier League.

- In the last match at the King Power Stadium, the "foxes" lost to Newcastle, but they did not lose twice in a row at home since September.

- Southampton has never won in the Premier League on the field of Leicester (H2 P2).

forecast 1: 2.
