Decent fun for the Foxes
Leicester opened their 2021 account with a hard-earned victory away at Newcastle United. Maddison and Tielemans initially fired them into a two-goal lead while Carroll pulled one back for the home side late on. The Foxes managed to hold on, pocketing their first win of the year. Given that it was their first win in three, the Foxes quickly made it two from two in all competitions as they easily cruised past Stoke City in the FA Cup last weekend. The Leicester faithful will certainly hope the squad continues this good run of form.
Saints stun titleholders
Prior to their last league game, Southampton was on a poor run of four games without a single win. Given that they were to play Liverpool, most football fans expected their abysmal form to continue. However, the Saints managed to dig out an impressive 1-0 win with Danny Ings scoring the game's solitary goal. This victory couldn't have come at a better time as the Saints were slowly losing ground on the top clubs. Will they make it two wins from two this Saturday?
