Southampton pack their bags to visit Leicester City at Walkers Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Saints will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 18 and win only 7 of the 35 games.
The previous match played between the two at Walkers Stadium was within the last three years, in August 2003, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Premiership match.
