STAT ATTACK: Southampton v Leicester - Who'll come out on top, Mahrez or Mane?

Jamie Vardy bids to join a select group of English strikers and the Foxes bring an unbeaten away record to a Saints side they've only beaten once in their last 18 top-flight encounters.

Both meetings between these sides last season ended 2-0 to the home team with a player scoring a brace (Long, Mahrez).

Jamie Vardy has scored eight goals in his last nine Premier League appearances, including in each of his last five matches in the competition.

Only three English players have scored in six consecutive PL appearances this century: Michael Owen (6 in 2003), James Beattie (6 in 2003) and Daniel Sturridge (8 in 2014).

The Foxes have won more points from losing positions than any other top-flight side this season (6).

Saints have only lost one of their last 18 top-flight home games against Leicester (W10 D7).

Leicester are unbeaten in seven Premier League away games; only once in their top-flight history have they gone eight without defeat on the road (nine in 1973).

Leicester have scored and conceded in all eight of their league games this season.

Graziano Pelle has missed the target from inside the box twice as many times as any other Premier League player this season (18, Gestede 9).

Maarten Stekelenburg has made only 10 saves in eight games this term, that’s four fewer than David de Gea has made in half as many matches (14 in four).

Sadio Mane has two goals and four assists in his last five league appearances.
