Team News: Leciester City name unchanged side for Southampton test

Barclays Premier League Manager of the Month Nigel Pearson has stuck with the same Leicester City side that recorded a 3-0 win against Newcastle United last weekend as he prepares to take on Southampton.

Midfielder Andy King remains sidelined through injury, but striker David Nugent is fit enough for a place on the bench after shaking off a calf problem.

The Saints are without midfielder James Ward-Prowse, who serves a one-match ban as a result of the red card he picked up in the 2-1 defeat at the hands of Sunderland.

Ronald Koeman is also without Morgan Schneiderlin, Dusan Tadic, Fraser Forster, Emmanuel Mayuka and Jay Rodriguez, who are all still missing through injury.

Leicester City: Schmeichel; Wasilewski, Huth, Morgan, Albrighton; James, Schlupp, Cambiasso, Mahrez; Vardy, Ulloa. Subs: Schwarzer, De Laet, Konchesky, Drinkwater, Hammond, Nugent, Kramaric

Southampton: Gazzaniga; Clyne, Fonte, Alderweireld, Bertrand; Wanyama, Reed, Davis, Mane; Elia, Pelle. Subs: K. Davis (GK), Yoshida, Gardos, Long, Djuričić, Targett, Gallagher
