Leicester City face Southampton for the second time this week, hoping to bounce back from the disastrous 4-3 defeat with a win in the FA Cup on Saturday. The Foxes travel to the south coast on a terrible run of form, with a mixture of anger and apathy amongst the supporters. Here are five things to look out for.

Could the players benefit from the pressure being off?

This game will not define our season: there are no points up for grabs and realistically, we are not going to win the FA Cup. A break from the brutal Championship season, which has been made all the more difficult by the six-point deduction, may well be a welcome one.

The fact is, these Leicester players need to remember what winning feels like. They know that they are capable of producing periods of excellent quality, and we all saw that in the first half on Tuesday night. But when the threat of the comeback began just after the hour mark, they withered.
