Potential secession now dominates the conversation in Leicester, with future Wesley Fofana, Yuri Tielemans When Jamie Vardy All remaining hot topics for discussion.
Brendan Rogers While he’ll accept it’s part of the territory, and perhaps it’s necessary for him to sign a new deal, the Northern Irishman is determined to get his team on the board and get a win as soon as possible. We need to be evenly focused.
Leicester have scored twice each against Brentford and Arsenal, but after conceding six on the other side of the pitch, they have only one point to show for their efforts.
Speculation about the departure of Fofana or Kasper Schemichel shouldn’t necessarily be blamed on that. This is a Leicester side who have fallen back overall since winning the FA Cup in 2021 and are at risk of being permanently pinned in the mid-table.
With Chelsea and Manchester United following suit, Rodgers knows his job will be a little easier for the rest of the month with a win over an equally open Southampton side.

Hasenhuttl remains concerned about his own defense, but the character show against Leedes gives him confidence that his players are available against Leicester’s defense, which he plays with little conviction. .
However, Southampton are currently without a five-game winning streak against the Foxes. Their last success came in January 2020 in an away trip when he scored a 2–1 win.
