9'
Leicester have a lot of attacking talent on the pitch tonight, with Gray and Mahrez in wide positions and two up front. They have been the better team so far.
7'
That's lovely play from Leicester. Mahrez, Iheanacho and Vardy move the ball around intricately before Mahrez's low shot from 20 yards is comfortably saved by McCarthy.
5'
It's been a quiet start to the game, though Jamie Vardy looks sharp as usual.
3'
Albrighton gives away a free-kick with an elbow on Tadic, and then heads Ward-Prowse's delivery clear.
1'
Peep peep! After a false start, Leicester get the match under way.
19:40
Five minutes to kick off. Any predictions? I'm going for Leicester 2-1 Southampton. Get me.
19:30
Southampton's recent performances will have given them a bit of encouragement, and there are some winnable matches remaining. Their last five league fixtures are: Leicester (A), Bournemouth (H), Everton (A), Swansea (A) and Manchester City (H).
19:25
Leicester don't have much left to play for. They are in eighth, unlikely to move any higher, and ready for a summer holiday.
19:20
Southampton will be desperate for a win tonight. They are five points off safety with five games remaining, and despite some decent performances of late they have won only one league game since November - and that was against West Brom. They play Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday, but this is surely the more important game.
19:15
Southampton are unchanged from the team that lost 3-2 at home to Chelsea on Saturday. They played very well for 70 minutes of that game, so you can understand why Mark Hughes has given them another chance.
19:10
Leicester have made five changes from the team that lost 2-1 at Burnley on Saturday: Hamer, Dragovic, Albrighton, Iheanacho and Ndidi come in for Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan, Choudhury and Okazaki.
