Southampton are eager to secure their first Premier League victory of the season at the eighth attempt as they face off against Leicester City at St Mary’s on Saturday afternoon.

The Saints have endured a challenging re-entry to top-flight football, having suffered six defeats in their initial seven matches. Their most recent outing saw Russell Martin’s team take a surprising early lead against Arsenal, only to succumb to a 3-1 loss in London.

Returning to their home ground on the south coast this weekend, Southampton are determined to inject some much-needed vitality into their campaign by overcoming fellow newcomers Leicester.

Leicester City, meanwhile, managed to clinch their first league win of the season just before the international break with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bournemouth. This success elevated Steve Cooper’s squad to 15th place in the standings, and another win could help them distance themselves further from the relegation zone.
