Southampton boss Tonda Eckert says playing Leicester City twice in five days will not impact on their approach to Tuesday night's Championship game - but it may do for the FA Cup tie on Saturday. When asked if the double-header changes how they prepare, Eckert said: "Maybe the second game. Eckert expects to make changes to the starting line-up against Leicester despite the 1-0 win over Watford at the weekend. "I think the quality that we have at the moment is that we have a high availability," he added. "So let's assess a couple of players over the next days but I would assume that we have a couple of changes in the starting eleven."
