EFL: Leicester v West Brom kicks off Saturday's action - live text

Southampton have perked up of late and have certainly brightened up an already exciting race for automatic promotion from the Championship.

But they've suffered a pair of blows this week off the pitch.

Firstly, goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu was ruled out until 2025 after rupturing his Achilles tendon having been injured during the warm-up against Preston on Tuesday night.

Then director of football Jason Wilcox left the club after Saints "reluctantly agreed" to allow him to join Manchester United on Friday.

Russell Martin's side take on Cardiff today hoping to crash the automatic promotion party. Can they temper a poor week?
