Will Southampton find a way out of the Premier League basement or will Leicester City recoil following its exit from the FA Cup? Some questions will be answered Saturday when the two sides meet at St. Mary’s Stadium for a 12:30 p.m. kick.
Southampton has dropped its last five home match, adding some pressure to Ruben Selles, the one-time interim manager who did guide the Saints past Chelsea not long ago.
However, Wednesday’s setback to tier-two Grimsby Town doesn’t offer a ton of confidence to the last-place crew. Southampton did nick Leicester City 2-1 earlier in the PL season, though. Getting back attacking midfielder and top scorer Che Adams to the lineup will help.

The Blackburn Rovers stopped Leicester City’s FA Cup run Wednesday and the latter ended February with three straight defeats. Midfielder James Maddison (knee) is expected to return to bolster the roster on the road.
