"Mounting what will be remember as an all-time comeback at the King Power in midweek, Southampton will certainly find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. 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."
"Suffering that infamous collapse on Tuesday night as they eventually fell to that nightmare 4-3 loss at the King Power, Leicester find themselves at the heart of a public crisis. 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."
FA Cup fixtures feature high-profile ties and Championship clashes, with Manchester City and Liverpool among the headline names. Southampton rode a remarkable comeback at the King Power, overturning a 3-0 half-time deficit to win 4-3 and enter the weekend with strong momentum. Southampton have won three straight matches across competitions by an aggregate 7-3 and collected 13 points from their last five meetings with Championship opponents, sitting one point outside the top six while targeting an immediate Premier League return in 2026. Leicester confront off-field financial problems, a six-point deduction and four successive Championship defeats, including a 2-1 loss at Birmingham.
