Leicester and Southampton face each other in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley this weekend as both teams aim to record silverware in 2020/21.
The Foxes are primed for Champions League qualification and currently occupy third spot in the Premier League table.
Brendan Rodgers' men have overcome a huge number of injuries this term but have clung on to their place in the top three and have continued to work their way through the FA Cup rounds.
On the other hand, Southampton have suffered a woeful 2021 so far despite a terrific start to the campaign.
They have lost three of their last four, and without a recent victory over Burnley, they would be lingering just above the relegation zone in 16th.

Our prediction: Leicester v Southampton
Leicester have lost a little bit of steam in recent weeks but some of that could be put down to their injury shortage being compounded by the missing trio last weekend.
The Foxes will be determined to mark Rodgers' reign with silverware as well as a Champions League place, with Kelechi Iheanacho bang on form and Jamie Vardy continuing to prowl, they have every chance of turning over the Saints at Wembley.
Southampton will shelve their league form and fix their full attention on this showdown. With Danny Ings in the XI, they always boast a chance of scoring but Leicester should be too hot to handle here.
Our prediction: Leicester 2-1 Southampton (15/2 at bet365)
