Leicester City
Enzo Maresca does not have any new concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. Against Southampton on Tuesday, the Leicester City manager will have a full-strength squad.
Kasey McAteer was the latest player off the treatment table, with Leicester City not having anyone on the sidelines. The home side will line up in a 4-3-3 formation against Southampton on Tuesday. Mads Hermansen will take his usual spot between the sticks, with the backline featuring Ricardo Pereira, Conor Coady, Jannik Vestergaard, and Wout Faes.
As for the midfield unit, there is no looking past Harry Winks, Wilfred Ndidi, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Finally, Jamie Vardy should lead the line for Leicester City, with Abdul Fatawu Issahaku and Stephy Mavidid being the two wide attackers.
Southampton
Unlike his counterpart in the Leicester City dugout, Russell Martin has a few pressing issues to deal with ahead of the trip to the King Power Stadium. The Southampton manager will be without three first-team players.
Gavin Bazunu is the most notable absentee, with the goalkeeper recovering from an Achilles injury. In addition, Juan Larios (hamstring) and Ross Stewart (muscle injury) remain on the sidelines.
Alex McCarthy will take his spot between the sticks, with Southampton lining up in a 4-3-3 formation in front of him against Leicester City. The backline should feature Kyle Walker-Peters, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Jan Bednarek, and James Bree.
As for the midfield unit, Joe Aribo will accompany Will Smallbone and Stuart Armstrong in the middle of the park. Finally, Che Adams should spearhead the Southampton attack, with Ryan Fraser and Adam Armstrong completing the numbers in the offensive trifecta.
Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Hermansen; Pereira, Coady, Vestergaard, Faes; Ndidi, Winks, Dewsbury-Hall; Fatawu, Mavididi, Vardy
Southampton possible starting lineup:
McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Bree; Aribo, Smallbone, S Armstrong; A Armstrong, Adams, Fraser

Prediction: Leicester City 3-1 Southampton
Although not at their best versus West Brom - particular during the first period - Leicester got the job done, and we can imagine a similar narrative unfolding on Tuesday night. Southampton will be sapped of energy following Saturday's last-minute defeat at Cardiff, so we are predicting back-to-back losses for the Saints.
