Leicester City will take a huge step towards promotion back to the Premier League on Tuesday night when they take on Southampton.
Enzo Maresca’s men will move five points clear of third-placed Ipswich Town, with two games remaining, with victory this evening. Leeds United’s 4-3 win over Middlesbrough on Monday means the Foxes can’t confirm their promotion in LE2.
City will be looking to build on Saturday’s vital win over West Brom. Despite allowing the Baggies to have a number of golden opportunities, Leicester ticked-off another game in their title run-in leaving them with just nine points to play for.
Southampton’s automatic promotion hopes are all but over after losing 2-1 to Cardiff City at the weekend. Russell Martin’s side will want to end the normal season in top form ahead of their likely play-off campaign.
Leicester will welcome Ricardo Pereira back to action tonight after he was an unused substitute on Saturday. Hamza Choudhury started in the Portuguese’s place and put in one of his best performances for his boyhood club.
