- Venue: King Power Stadium (Leicester)
With only three more games left in the season and four points more than third-placed Leeds, Leicester are only a few more points away from returning to the Premier League. Enzo Maresca's team won only three of the last eight matches but still could celebrate promotion in a week or two. In the previous game, Leicester won 2-1 at home against WBA. The teams were pretty even in that game, but eventually, Leicester were more efficient, so they picked up another win.
Southampton is five points behind the desired second place on the table, so it is more realistic for Russell Martin's team to try their luck in a promotion playoff. Southampton had three straight wins until Saturday, when they lost 2-1 on the road against Cardiff. Guests had 62% ball possession and nine shots on the goal more than the opponent in that game, but eventually, they stayed empty-handed.
Leicester City vs Southampton pick: Under 3.5 goals
Leicester scored only two goals in the last three matches. On the other hand, Southampton went under 3.5 goals in four of the previous five games. Under 3.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.

Leicester team news
In a chat with WBA's head coach, Leicester's manager Enzo Maresca said that his team were lucky to take all points from Saturday's game. Maybe Leicester didn't deserve all three points, but they are only one more win away from securing the Premier League next season, and that is only important.
Leicester doesn't have any missing players right now.

Southampton team news
Southampton's goalkeeper and one of the best players, Gavin Bazunu, suffered an Achilles tendon injury. He will not return this season, so veteran Alex McCarthy needs to step up. Also, for the upcoming tie, Southampton will be without Juan Larios and Ross Stewart.
