Did you know?

The away team have won the last four Premier League meetings between these sides. The last time there were five consecutive PL away wins between two clubs was Crystal Palace v Liverpool between May 2015 and April 2017.

All five of Jamie Vardy’s PL goals against Southampton have been scored on the road. In six home appearances, he has only managed seven shots and three on target against Saints.

Southampton are unbeaten in their last four PL away matches against Leicester, winning the last two.

Saints are looking to keep a fourth consecutive PL clean sheet for the first time since a run of six in 2016. They have recorded eight shutouts this term, just one fewer than in the whole of last season.
