Leicester City

The Foxes are having a good season. In the national championship, Leicester is now in third place, which, however, still needs to be defended. West Ham and Chelsea are just a point or two away and are ready to push Brendan Rogers' men out of the Champions League zone.

Leicestershire have not lost their chances to win the FA Cup. After all, out of the three semifinalists, they got a completely passable opponent. Southampton in terms of the quality of the game is noticeably inferior to Chelsea with Manchester City. In addition, there should be enough motivation for the cup tournament, because Leicester has never won an honorary trophy in their history. Nevertheless, we must say that the team reached the final four times, but lost in each of them. The last time, however, the Foxes played in the FA Cup final back in 1969.

Last season, Brendan Rogers' team reached the Cup quarter-finals, where they lost 0:1 at their home arena to Chelsea. In the current tournament, Leicester left out Manchester United in the quarterfinals, which they beat at home with a score of 3:1. In the quarterfinals, the Foxes knocked out another representative of the Premier League Brighton (1:0) from the Cup. By the way, they beat the "seagulls" in their own arena too. Leicester began their way for the trophy in the current tournament with victories over representatives of the lower divisions Stoke City (4:0) and Brentford (3:0).

Defenders James Justin and Wes Morgan, as well as midfielder Harvey Barnes, will not be able to take part in the match due to injuries.

Southampton

For Southampton as a whole, the season has not worked well. The FA Cup remains the only tournament in which the saints can still succeed. In the Premier League, Ralf Hasenh?ttl's charges completely failed in the second round. In the last match of the national championship they lost on the road to West Brom with a score of 0:3. This was the 11th defeat for Southampton in the last 14 rounds.

In the FA Cup, Ralph Hasenh?ttl's team is playing more successfully. Although the rivals were of different levels. It should be noted that Soton has not conceded a single goal in the cup tournament. Southampton have alternately knocked out Shrewsbury Town (2:0), Arsenal (1:0), Wolverhampton (2:0) and Bournemouth (3:0). The Saints won their last two matches on the road. In general, in the ten previous away matches in the FA Cup, Soton lost only twice. And in seven of the last nine he scored at least two goals.

There are two midfielders in the team's infirmary: Oriol Romeu and William Smallbone, striker Michael Obafemi. Takumi Minamino is not eligible to play in the FA Cup as he played in the tournament for Liverpool. So, what is the accurate football predictions for today?
