Claudio Ranieris team start the weekend five points clear of second-placed Tottenham with seven games remaining and, with his confidence sky-high, Jamie Vardy, who has 21 goals for club and country this term, will be looking to score in a third straight game.The 29-year-old strikers impressive displays against Germany and the Netherlands likely cemented his place in Roy Hodgsons squad for Euro 2016 and Vardy can now turn his attention to the final weeks of Leicesters astonishing bid to win their first top-flight title. Jamie Vardy was on target for England against Germany and the Netherlands Southampton could be one of the toughest remaining opponents for the Foxes, with the visitors having won their last two games to climb within four points of the Champions League places.However, Leicester are showing remarkable resilience under pressure, winning their last three games 1-0. Team newsJeff Schlupp is a doubt for Leicester with a knee problem. The utility player suffered the injury on international duty with Ghana and could miss out when the Saints come to the midlands.Ranieri has no other injury worries although Matty James is unlikely to feature as he continues his recovery from a serious knee injury which has kept him out for almost a year. Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri got an unusual present at his latest news conference. Southamptons Shane Long is doubtful for the game. The striker scored from the penalty spot in the Republic of Irelands 2-2 draw against Slovakia on Tuesday before going off with a knee problem, so will be assessed after training on Saturday.Saints manager Ronald Koeman has no other injury concerns.Opta stats Leicester are five points clear of second placed Tottenham ahead of the weekend fixtures Leicester have won only one of their last eight top-flight contests against Southampton (D4 L3).Southamptons only win away to Leicester in the Premier League came in December 2001, winning 4-0 at Filbert Street (D2 L6).The Foxes have 41 more points from 31 Premier League games this season (66) compared to last season (25).

Jamie Redknapp gives his thoughts ahead of Super Sunday Mersons predictionThis is a hard one for Leicester. In fact, I think their next three games are their hardest. People talk about their last three but if they put these three to bed they might not have to worry about the last three. Paul Merson expects Shane Long to cause Leicester some problems Southampton are a decent side, Shane Long will cause problems, and Leicester will have to attack. The pressure has been getting to Leicester a bit, they havent been great lately and they have just got over the line in a few games, but if they can win the next three they would put it to bed.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (Sky Bets odds: 5/1)You can watch Leicester in action against Southampton at the King Power Stadium, live on Super Sunday.
