Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of Leicester City v Southampton, coming up from 3pm. With Sunderland currently winning at Everton the hosts currently stand in 17th, out of the bottom three only because of their superior goal difference to Hull. This is a must win clash for Nigel Pearson's side against a Southampton team who still harbour hopes of finishing in the top six this season.

90+4'

FULL TIME! LEICESTER 2-0 SOUTHAMPTON - A very important win for Leicester, and an impressive performance to boot. Their sixth in seven games takes them up to 37 points. Sensational turnaround from Nigel Pearson's men with Riyad Mahrez the match winner today. Southampton were as poor as Leicester were good.

90+3'

Shot from Mane is drilled well wide. That's that.

90+2'

Shot from Alderweireld is deflected behind off Huth. Two corners follow but both are cleared.

90'

Four minutes added time to come. All a formality really. Comfortable still for Leicester.

88'

"We are staying up" cries ring around the King Power Stadium. Who could argue with this support, Leicester have been superb this afternoon. Another very comfortable home win on the cards.

86'

Esteban Cambiasso has been a real lynchpin for Leicester this afternoon and he forces a canny corner here. His experience has really shone through.

85'

Ronald Koeman's side have not looked like getting going all afternoon and there's no change as we approach the final five minutes of the 90.

81'

First caution of the afternoon as Wasilewski picks up a booking for a body check on Mane.

79'

Doesn't look THAT hot out there...

77'

Leonardo Ulloa looks to be limping off here and Dean Hammond takes his place to face his old club.

73'

Cambiasso so close to making it three. His left footed effort from just inside the box smacks into the side netting. Half the ground thought it was in!

71'

Great save from Schmeichel as he tips away a dipping strike from Sadio Mane. The only difficult save the Dane has had to make so far.

70'

Vardy sprints off from a cleared Southampton corner but it takes three defenders to get him off the ball. Run himself into the ground has Vardy today. And off he comes! Nugent takes his place.

67'

David Nugent now looks he's coming on...

66'

Steven Davis and Eljero Ellia make way for Filip Djuricic and Shane Long with 25 minutes to go.

63'

Cambiasso has a snap shot from a knock down but it's deflected and falls easily for Gazzaniga.

61'

Double change coming up for Southampton. They need to do something to get back into this because the game is drifting away from them.

58'

Mahrez with a powerful drive that skims wide of the near post. Leicester moving the ball around well here.

57'

Southampton can't get going. Leicester have been very disruptive and not allowed the opposition to get into a rhyhtm despite their domination of the ball.

53'

Leicester have had just 26% but they've had as many efforts on goal as Southampton - six. They have a gameplan and they're sticking to it.
