“The worst game in Premier League history” was the headline in one of the tabloid newspapers in the UK on the eve of the game. Two Premier League clubs had never met this late in the season with so few combined points (29) and so many defeats (51).

Leicester vs. Southampton came with such a low billing some fans had even dubbed it "El Crapico," a game between the two worst teams in the league.

Referee David Webb suffered a head injury and was replaced following a delay of several minutes during the first half of Leicester City's Premier League game against Southampton on Saturday.
