Danny Ings: Southampton forward celebrates after netting in the Premier League for the third successive game
  • Southampton won their last Premier League match against Leicester (2-1 in January), and are looking to secure consecutive wins over them in the competition for the first time since 2001.
  • Leicester have won their last two Premier League away games against Southampton, more than they had in their first 11 such games against them (W1 D5 L5).
  • Southampton have been shown five red cards in Premier League games against Leicester, more than they have vs any other side. They had a red card against the Foxes in both games last season – they’ve never had a player sent off in three consecutive games against an opponent in the competition.
  • Leicester have never won a Premier League match on a Friday (P7 W0 D2 L5), playing more games on that day of the week without winning than any other side in the competition.
  • Southampton are winless in six Premier League home games (D3 L3), including all four so far this season (D1 L3). They failed to win any of their first five home games last season, and could become just the third side in history to do so in consecutive top-flight campaigns (Bury in 1904-05/1905-06 and QPR in 1973-74/1974-75).
  • Since the start of last season, Southampton have won just 24 points from their 23 home Premier League games (W5 D9 L9), the fewest of any side to have played in both seasons.
  • Leicester City have won a league-high seven points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, coming from behind to win their last game against Burnley.
  • Southampton have kept just one clean sheet in their last 18 home league games, conceding at least once in each of their last nine. They’ve conceded first in all four Premier League home games this season – only in January 1997 have they conceded the first goal in five consecutively at home in the competition.
  • Southampton’s Danny Ings has scored five goals in his last four games in all competitions, netting in four consecutive games for the first time ever in English football.
  • Jamie Vardy averages a goal every 113 minutes in the Premier League for Leicester under Brendan Rodgers, his best ratio under any permanent manager at the club in the competition. He’s netted 15 goals in 19 games since Rodgers’ arrival – only under Claudio Ranieri (29) and Claude Puel (23) has he scored more Premier League goals, playing more than 50 games for each of those managers.
