Leicester 2-0 Southampton: James Maddison fires the hosts into second with a brilliant finish and Harvey Barnes strikes late as Brendan Rodgers' men win against the in-form Saints

Having embarrassed all of us who patronised them five years ago, they surely wouldn't have the audacity to repeat the trick?

But here we are, almost halfway through this strangest of seasons and there they sit pretty in second place, a point off the lead.
