In the EFL Championship...

Referring to the times they have faced each other in the EFL Championship, we count 32 duels, where the numbers are in favor of Southampton with 13 victories, while Leicester has won eight, for a balance of 11 draws. 

If we take into account the times that Southampton has been at home against Leicester in the EFL Championship, there are 16 matches, where the Soton have the advantage with 10 wins over one that the Foxes have achieved, and the five draws that have been given.

In its return to the second division, Leicester has had a similar path to its rival, where it was undefeated, but lost in its last outing against Hull City. After the FIFA break, the Foxes will have to recover the points they lost at home.

Southampton has had a good start to the season, but they come from a tough defeat at Sunderland and lost their four-game unbeaten streak, so they will have to play a perfect game to turn the page and get back to winning ways.

The Southampton vs Leicester match will be played at St Mary's Stadium, located in the city of Southampton, in the south of England. This stadium, inaugurated in 2001, has a capacity for approximately 32,700 people.
