A place in the FA Cup final is at stake as Leicester City face Southampton on Sunday afternoon, with the two sides duelling for the right to face Chelsea.
Thomas Tuchel’s side beat Manchester City yesterday to book their own spot back at Wembley, and either of these two sides might fancy that they could overcome the Blues on their best day - but they have to beat each other first to get there.
The Foxes are third in the Premier League table but have lost their last two, with in fact only three wins in their last eight as they stumble somewhat in the final throes of the season. They’ll be anxious to avoid a repeat of last year when they dropped out of the top four late on, with the same at stake this time around as well as a cup final.
As for Saints, their last three wins spans an even longer run, 10 matches in all competitions, with a dismal defeat to West Brom last time out hinting that a big improvement is needed in this game if they’re to make the final.
Follow our live coverage below of the FA Cup semi-final, with Leicester against Southampton.

Still Southampton search for a shot on target. Ings does well to slide a pass into Adams in the box. The substitute shifts onto his right foot and drives a shot straight at Evans. Diallo then fires over the bar from the edge of the box.

Appeals for a penalty as Djenepo crosses from the left and the ball hits Fofana close to his arm. No penalty says the referee, and Southampton have to settle for a corner.

GOAL! LEICESTER 1-0 SOUTHAMPTON (IHEANACHO 55’)
Leicester lead! It’s brilliant from Vardy, who scampers down the left flank, beating Bednarek for pace. He get to the byline and pulls back for Iheanacho, whose first shot hits Vestergaard. The rebound comes back to Iheanacho, and this time he coverts from close range. A slice of luck for the Nigerian, but his exceptional form continues.

LEICESTER 0-0 SOUTHAMPTON (48’)
Southampton have started the half on the front foot, clearly aware that they need more attacking intent after a pretty listless opening 45 minutes.
