Preview Southampton Premier League, Dec 1, 2021

Preview The Saints suffered the heaviest loss of their campaign after Saturday's 4-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield. A brace from Diogo Jota (2' & 32'), coupled with a remarkable goal from Thiago Alcantara (37'), and a fine effort from Virgil van Dijk (52'), saw Southampton pick up back-to-back defeats, DWWLL. The club slipped two spots down, from 13th to 15th place. The first half was simply not good enough to be competitive against this team, Ralph Hasenhüttl said in his post-match press conference. They are on fire at the moment, you must say. I think there was no chance today after the start we had. He concluded. Having failed to pick up a point, the Saints are left with 14 points from 3W, 5D, and 5L. On Saturday, Ralph Hasenhüttl went with the attacking-minded 3—4—3 formation, hoping to unsettle Liverpool. However, it proved to be an unwise decision after the haul of four. A more balanced 4—4—2 is anticipated for this mid-week clash against Leicester City. The pair, consisting of Che Adams and Adam Armstrong, are expected in attack once again on Wednesday. The Saints have no new injury worries.

Preview Leicester City Premier League, Dec 1, 2021

Preview Jamie Vardy (34’ & 42') bagged a brace in Leicester City’s 4-2 win over Watford at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. Maddison must have gotten up on the right side of the bed, having been handed a gift by Watford's Troost-Ekong minutes into the game. Ekong pushed the self-destruct button, ducking out of a defensive header to leave Maddison (16') with the opener. Minutes later, Joshua King (30' P.) found the leveler from the spot before back-to-back goals from Jamie Vardy left Leicester City with a two-goal lead. His first, a lob over the goalkeeper. His second, a remarkable reverse header. Emmanuel Bonaventure (61') reduced Watford’s deficit to one after a steal before racing away towards goal on the snow-covered pitch. Seven minutes later, Vardy did the hard work before bringing in Ademola Lookman (68') for the finish, which signaled the end of the goal fest in the six-goal thriller. It was a really good performance, said Brendan Rodgers in his post-match press conference. We were a real threat going forward. It's an important three points, he added. Leicester City jumped three spots ahead, from 12th to 9th place on the Premier League table, having picked up 18 points from 5W, 3D, & 5L. Brendan Rodgers went along with the attacking 4—2—3—1 formation against the Hornets. - And having returned to winning ways after three games, WLDLW, the 48-year-old could be leaving both formation and personnel in place for this mid-week fixture against Southampton. Leicester City have no new injury worries.
