Nigerian international, Ahmed Musa, was nowhere close to Leicester City’s bench as Leicester City and Southampton earned a point apiece after playing out a goalless draw in a Premier League contest at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City manager, Claudio Ranieri, however opted for Riyad Mahrez, Islam Slimani and Jamie Vardy for the starting role, while Shinji Okazaki, Demarai Gray and Leonardo Ulloa were the used substitutes.
The Saints showed attacking ambitions from the off and almost took an early lead when the in-form Charlie Austin gained possession in the box and beat Kasper Schmeichel from an acute angle, only to be denied by the post.
Dangerous as ever on the counter-attack, Leicester looked odds-on to break the deadlock in the 30th minute when Jamie Vardy latched onto a bad back pass by Virgil van Dijk and rounded Fraser Forster in the Saints goal, but Oriol Romeu produced an instinctive block on the line before denying Islam Slimani on the follow-up.
