Leicester City vs Hull City live details and round-up of the scores from the other Premier League games

Why, it’s only a Premier League ‘six-pointer’ between Leicester City and Hull City.

This one starts in the traditional 3pm slot, along with four other Premier League matches – Stoke City vs Middlesbrough, Swansea City vs Burnley, Watford vs Southampton and West Bromwich Albion vs Crystal Palace – that you can also follow the scores of right here.

What TV channel is it on?

Sadly, this mouthwatering game will not be broadcast live. Luckily, though, you can follow the score from the Leicester City vs Hull City and all the other 3pm kick offs right here.

Craig Shakespeare, the caretaker Leicester manager, has a full squad to choose from as he prepares to face Premier League relegation rivals Hull.

Strikers Islam Slimani and Leonardo Ulloa are fit again after being included in the side against Liverpool on Monday night for what was Shakespeare’s first game in charge following Claudio Ranieri’s sacking.

Ahmed Musa was left out against the Reds for tactical reasons and the striker will hope to be back in Shakespeare’s plans for Saturday as the defending champions look to record back-to-back league wins for the first time this season.

Leicester City (possible, 4-4-2): Schmeichel; Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs; Mahrez, Drinkwater, Ndidi, Gray; Okazaki, Vardy.

Out: None.

Meanwhile, Hull defender Harry Maguire is expected to shake off a knee injury in time for the game at King Power Stadium.

Maguire needed treatment during last week’s home draw against Burnley but played on for the full 90 minutes, while midfielder Sam Clucas is available after serving a one-game ban.

Lazar Markovic is also back in contention after an unspecified problem, but Dieumerci Mbokani will be sidelined for up to six weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury against Burnley. Curtis Davies, Michael Dawson, Evandro, Ryan Mason and Markus Henriksen are still out.

Craig Shakespeare remains in pole position to land the Leicester City job for the rest of the season and victory over Hull should be enough to see it confirmed.

Hull are a stronger proposition under new manager Marco Silva but there is a sense that last season’s champions are finally stirring.

Result: Leicester City 2 Hull City 1

Watford vs Southampton live score and goal updates as Gabbiadini strikes

Show/hide article…

Walter Mazzarri’s Watford are without January arrival Mauro Zarate for the season with a knee injury suffered against West Ham.

Southampton will be eager to improve on 13th in the Premier League, a position which leaves them closer to the relegation battle than they’d like.

The hosts are sitting in 12th, four points above the Saints, and only one point from the top half of the table.

Here are the teams:

U18 Report: Leicester 2-4 Saints

1050×700 143 KB

Show/hide article…

A Callum Slattery brace and goals from Will Smallbone and Tyreke Johnson saw Southampton Under-18s come out on top in a six-goal thriller in Leicester.

Saints marched to an early lead in the Under-18 Premier League encounter, and had hit three without reply before 15 minutes had been played.

The opener came on just six minutes after Slattery was felled on the edge of the area. Smallbone then lined up the resulting free-kick and dispatched it past Max Bramley with a fine low drive.

Slattery had the ball in the net once again just five minutes later, as his deflected shot wrong-footed Bramley and snuck in at the Leicester goalkeeper’s near post.

Sensing blood Saints continued to press for a third, and it didn’t take long until they had it. Siph Mdlalose fired in a fantastic cross from the right which Johnson headed in at the near post to make it 3-0.

The hosts did have chances to reduce the deficit in the first half. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall almost responded immediately, but his attempt was deflected wide before Kairo Arolott-Edwards then dragged a strike past the far post.

A faultless first-half display was then dealt its only negative in the closing stages, as Siph Mdlalose suffered injury and was replaced by Harlem Hale.

Saints soon made it four after the break. Jamie Bradley-Green saw his attempt from a corner parried, but Slattery reacted first in the penalty area and slotted in from close range to double his personal tally.

Substitute Hale then had the chance to make it five on the hour mark. A swift counter attack saw the winger fly through and cut back before striking, but his deflected strike bounced clear off the Leicester crossbar.

Despite the deficit, the hosts were still determined to find a way back into the match. And they did on 62 minutes when Arlott-Edwards found space on the edge of the area and struck in off Adam Parkes’ far post to make it 4-1.

Arlott-Edwards then netted his second of the afternoon on 80 minutes. Sneaking in behind the Saints backline he chipped over Parkes to spark hopes of a potential late comeback.

The Saints youngsters were then forced to withstand a barrage of late corners, one of which bounced clear off Parkes’ crossbar, but despite the hosts’ best efforts, they held firm to pick up three well deserved points.

Watford 3-4 Southampton RECAP: Relive the action as it happened

Show/hide article…

Southampton edge out an incredible high scoring game as Manolo Gabbiadini scores in his seventh consecutive match. The Italian netted alongside team-mates Redmond and Tadic to give Claude Puel’s team a vital away win against a spirited Watford. Things began well for Watford, who opened the scoring after just four minutes through Troy Deeney, but their advantage was to be cancelled out before the half. Though Okaka got the hosts level late on, Southampton were able to find an extra gear and two more goals that even a last minute Doucouré goal could not cancel out.
