Leicester v Southampton, Everton v Ipswich, and more: football updates – live

Key events

Leicester and Southampton fans discuss ‘El Crapico’ (part one)

Leicester: Chris Whiting, 29
First match attended: “Leicester 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday, 2002/03. I won the tickets for completing a primary school football course supported by the club – back when they didn’t treat us with contempt.”
Best match attended: “Leicester 3-1 Everton, 2015/16. I could have picked a few others but seeing us lift the Premier League trophy can’t really be topped.”

Southampton: Steve Grant, 41
First match attended: “Saints 0-3 Manchester City, November 1991. A cold rainy afternoon at the Dell where Jon Gittens scored an own goal while sat on his backside in our six yard box. Start as you mean to go on…”
Best match attended: “Liverpool 0-1 Saints, EFL Cup semi-final second leg, January 2017. We went to Anfield expecting them to easily overturn the one-goal deficit – then Shane Long scored on the break in injury-time.”

People have been calling this match ‘El Crapico’ – unfair, or about right?
CW: “I think it’s unfair on crap to be honest.”
SG: “Can I say ‘both’? In the context of the Premier League as it now is, we are two teams unfit to compete. But up against promoted teams from years gone by (and yes, I’m very much including 2007’s Derby County) both of us would wipe the floor with them. So it could be worse.”
