Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Southampton today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Leicester City vs Southampton
Meanwhile, the visitors are coming into this game after suffering late heartbreak against Fulham in last week’s Premier League clash at St Mary’s. The Saints took a deserved lead through Jack Stephens in the 14th minute; however, Fulham responded well and equalised through former Arsenal forward Emile Smith Rowe. Just as the game was heading for a draw, Ryan Sessegnon scored a 92nd-minute winner, sparking wild celebrations from Marco Silva’s men and leaving the already-relegated Saints despondent. With four games remaining in this season’s Premier League, Simon Rusk’s side will be hoping to reward their fans with a win against today’s opponents. However, the Saints have lost their last three league games against today’s home outfit.

Hosts Leicester City return to action after suffering a comprehensive 3-0 defeat at Wolves in last week’s Premier League fixture. The relegated Foxes suffered more misery as goals from Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen gave Vitor Pereira’s men a two-goal lead. Jamie Vardy had an opportunity to halve the deficit but saw his 72nd minute penalty well saved by Jose Sa. That proved costly as Rodrigo Gomes scored a third goal for Wolves, which condemned the 2015-16 Premier League champions to their 24th league defeat of the season. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side have not won in the league since 26th January 2025 - a 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur. There is some optimism for Leicester, as they will be facing a Southampton team they have already defeated this season – a 3-2 win at St Mary’s – with the Foxes looking to complete a Premier League double over the Saints for the first time since 1999-00.
