How to watch Leicester vs Southampton live: Stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction
Two already-relegated teams square off on Saturday as Leicester City host Southampton at the King Power Stadium.
WATCH — Leicester v Southampton
Ruud van Nistelrooy's side have been in woeful form for several months and their relegation was confirmed two weeks ago with their home defeat to Liverpool. With the news that Jamie Vardy is leaving Leicester at the end of this season, this is his penultimate home game for the Foxes and it will be an emotional few weeks for their legendary striker. Leicester lost 3-0 at Wolves last weekend and they've lost 17 of their last 19 Premier League games as they sit second bottom of the table on 18 points.
The only team below Leicester is Southampton, with the Saints on 11 points and they need one more point from their remaining four games to not be known as the team with the joint-worst points tally in a season in Premier League history. They led 1-0 at home against Fulham until late on last weekend but lost 2-1 as interim manager Simon Rusk has made them more pragmatic and less adventurous and perhaps playing that way would have seen Saints pick up plenty more points this season.

Leicester team news, focus
The Foxes are trying to become tougher to beat but they've really lost any attacking edge as they've scored just two goals in their last 11 Premier League games. Vardy will be desperate to finish his time at Leicester on a high, while there are plenty of players playing for their future and there is also plenty of uncertainty around whether or not Ruud van Nistelrooy will be in charge next season in the Championship.
OUT: Bobby De Cordova-Reid (muscular), Facundo Buonanotte (head), Ricardo Pereira (muscular), Stephy Mavididi (muscular), Harry Winks (club discipline), Abdul Fatawu (knee - out for season)
Southampton team news, focus
Saints will start Scottish forward Ross Stewart up top if Paul Onuachu isn't fit. The rest of the team is pretty settled at this point in a 3-4-2-1 formation. The likes of Aaron Ramsdale, Tyler Dibling and Mateus Fernandes are all primed for moves to Premier League clubs this summer, while full back Kyle Walker-Peters is out of contract this summer and will also surely be heading back to the Premier League.
OUT: Albert Gronbaek (calf) | QUESTIONABLE: Paul Onuachu (ankle), Charlie Taylor (hip)
Leicester vs Southampton prediction
This feels like it will end in a draw and both teams will be happy enough with that. Leicester 1-1 Southampton.

Seth Rollins, Naomi win Money in the Bank ladder matches
WWE championships in the men's and women's divisions officially received top contenders at Money in the Bank on Saturday night. Seth Rollins and Noami won their respective matches and can cash-in an opportunity for a WWE championship any time and any place. Rollins climbed to the top of the ladder in his match, beating out LA Knight, Solo Sikoa, Andrade, El Grande Americano and Penta. Rollins got help from Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker to stymie some of the competition in the ring. Meanwhile, Jacob Fatu and JC Mateo tried to help Sikoa. But Fatu turned on Sikoa and put him through a ladder. Knight thought he had a clear opportunity, once again, to grab the Money in the Bank briefcase and potentially change the trajectory of his career. However, Rollins pulled Knight down and countered a BFT attempt. Rollins threw Knight into the ladder and then hit him with a Stomp. Rollins climbed up the ladder to retrieve the briefcase. It's the second time Rollins has won the match in his career. He was the first one to cash-in at WrestleMania when he did it at WrestleMania at WrestleMania 31. Now, he'll either have John Cena or Jey Uso in his crosshairs. The women's division was warned to "proceed with caution" as Naomi became an instant contender with her Money in the Bank win. There was really no odds-on favorite for the women's match. Naomi, Giulia, Roxanne Perez, Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss and Stephanie Vaquer had great shots at winning. Vaquer may have been at a disadvantage after being in three matches in 24 hours, including a tag-team match with Lola Vice at Worlds Collide. Ripley and Bliss were among the final two to climb the ladder, but Naomi came into the ring and disrupted their momentum. Naomi tipped the ladder over, sending Bliss crashing to the mat and Ripley onto another ladder. Naomi climbed the ladder and grabbed the briefcase for the win. She will now have either WWE women's champion Tiffany Stratton or women's world champion Iyo Sky in her crosshairs. She's also still in a bitter feud with Jade Cargill. It's sure to be an eventful year for both competitors.
