Leicester vs Southampton live stream and how to watch Premier League game online, lineups

The Leciester vs Southampton live stream features two sides desperately in need of a Premier League win to lift the mood of supporters — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

It’s been a frustrating summer for the Foxes. Brendan Rogers talked last season about the need for a squad refresh, but so far Leicester have been virtually inactive in the transfer market. It’s not helped that some of the team’s biggest stars are attracting significant interest, most prominently young defender Wesley Fofana, who is on Chelsea’s radar. 

Leicester’s start to the season hasn’t been great, either. The side blew a 2-0 lead on the opening weekend against Brentford, ultimately coming away with a point, before being swept aside by an in-form Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. A win is badly needed in order to lift the mood of an increasingly frustrated fanbase.  

Southampton have also endured a less than stellar start to the season. After losing to Spurs, the Saints welcomed Leeds to St. Mary’s for a fixture that ended 2-2. However, manager Ralph Hasenhüttl can at least be pleased that his side battled back from two goals down in order to snatch a point. Nevertheless, Southampton are also desperately in need of a victory. 

Here's how they line up:

Leicester XI: Ward, Justin, Castagne, Evans, Ndidi, Amartey, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison, Perez, Barnes, Vardy. 

Southampton XI: Bazunu, Walker-Peters, Salisu, Bella-Kotchap, Elyounoussi, Lavia, Ward-Prowse, Djenepo, Mara, Aribo, A Amstrong.

With both these teams off to a disappointing start, this is a vital early fixture. Can either side claim their first three points of the season? Find out by watching the Leicester vs Southampton live stream.
