Already-relegated Premier League duo Leicester City and Southampton butt heads at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Foxes have failed to win any of their last 12 games in all competitions, most recently losing 3-0 away against Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.
Nevertheless, Ruud van Nistelrooy's side still sit seven points ahead of basement club Southampton, who are seeking to end an 11-game winless run in all tournaments that was extended courtesy of a 2-1 home defeat to Fulham last time out.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 101
Leicester wins: 35
Draws: 30
Southampton wins: 36
Leicester City and Southampton have faced each other a total of 101 times across all competitions and it is the Saints who marginally lead the overall head-to-head record having posted 36 wins to the Foxes' 35, while there have also been 30 draws played out between the two clubs.
Their very first meeting took place in the first round of the FA Cup back in January 1898 when Southampton secured a narrow 2-1 home win over Leicester - known then as Leicester Fosse - but the Foxes got their revenge 13 years later when they won a first-round tie 3-1 on their own turf.
Leicester and Southampton initially butted heads on a regular basis in the old Division Two, with the Saints posting a record of nine wins, 10 draws and five defeats, before they faced off in Division One on 16 occasions between 1966 and 1987, with Southampton winning twice as many matches (10) as Leicester (five).
In the Premier League era (since 1992-93), Leicester and Southampton have played against each other 35 times in the top flight and the Foxes (14 wins) have fared slightly better than the Saints (10 wins) to date.
One of the most notable results between these two sides took place in the Premier League in October 2019 when Leicester put Southampton to the sword 9-0 at St Mary's - the joint-biggest victory one team has had over another in the division's history.
Both teams have also locked horns on 10 occasions in the Championship, with Leicester winning five of those matches, including both home and away meetings in their title-winning 2023-24 campaign, one in which the Saints also secured promotion via the playoffs.
