Thoughts with those in the stands at Southampton/ Leicester and Watford/Chelsea. Happening all too regularly lately. Hopefully all will be ok with help from the medical staff.

Jan Bednarek gave the Saints an early lead after turning home a Nathan Tella cross inside three minutes, meaning Leicester's long run for a clean sheet goes on.
The Foxes got back in it through Jonny Evans' volley, before Che Adams restored Southampton's lead with a glancing header.

Leicester will be looking to win their second game on the bounce following an emphatic 4-2 win over Watford on Sunday.
Southampton, meanwhile, are looking to recover from a thumping 4-0 defeat to Liverpool.
Both sides started the evening in the bottom half but Leicester could move up to as high as sixth should they go on to win.
