"Coming from 3-0 down at half-time and eventually storming their way to a famous 4-3 victory against Saturday's guests, Tonda Eckert's side will be smelling a golden opportunity to pile even more pressure onto the Foxes. Really kickstarting their play-off dreams and currently sat just one-point adrift of finding a route into the top-six, the Saints have their sights firmly set on securing an immediate Premier League return in 2026."
"Hit with a six-point deduction last week and dealing with a string of financial issues, the Foxes now have an almighty battle on their hands in the race to maintain their Championship status. Getting February underway with a 2-1 loss away at Birmingham, Saturday's guests have now lost all of their previous four consecutive Championship appearances by an aggregate score of 10-5."
Southampton produced an extraordinary comeback from 3-0 down to win 4-3 at the King Power and carry high momentum into the FA Cup tie at St. Mary's. Tonda Eckert's squad sits one point outside the top six and aims for an immediate Premier League return in 2026. Southampton won three straight matches across competitions by an aggregate 7-3 and collected 13 points from five recent games against Championship opposition. Leicester suffered that 4-3 collapse, received a six-point deduction, face financial issues, and have lost four consecutive Championship matches by a combined 10-5, with only one point from their last six outings.
