Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is wary of the danger posed by Kelechi Iheanacho and hopes his side stops the in-form attacker when they meet on Friday.
Recall that Iheanacho’s 55th minute strike had helped the Foxes pip Southampton 1-0 last week to reach their first FA Cup final since 1969.
The Nigerian continued in a same fashion after he scored a stunning goal in Leicester City’s 2-1 home win against Crystal Palace on Monday.
Iheanacho has now scored 17 goals, including five in his last four games for the Foxes and will hope to close in on the 20-goal mark when City visit the Saints in the Premier League.
Asked how he planned to contain the Nigerian, Hasenhuttl said: “He [Iheanacho] did a good job in the last game, he has one chance and his chance was a goal so the rest of the game I didn’t see him to be honest.
“You must always be careful with him. You should not give him that chance around the box. He has a very good finish and is full of self-confidence at the moment.
“Every team has these strikers. They’re strong and they can hurt you.”
