Leicester City pack their bags to visit Southampton at St. Marys on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Foxes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them taste defeat on 17 occassions, and draw 14, from the 33 games played.
The previous match played between the two at St. Marys was within the last three years, in January 2004, when they played out a goalless draw in a Premiership match.
