Various venues
Southampton and Leicester City will open the 10th matchday of the 2019/20 Premier League when they meet at St Mary’s Stadium on the South Coast on Friday night. The match is one of 10 in this round of fixtures across England’s top flight for the weekend of 25-27 October.
Southampton will hope for a better performance than they managed in their last home clash, which was a 4-1 loss at the hands of Chelsea prior to the international break. The Saints will look to the likes of James Ward-Prowse and Danny Ings for inspiration.
