Episode 343 – Saints 3–0 Leicester Review + Millwall Preview

Southampton’s surge under interim boss Tonda Eckert continues, with Saints sweeping aside Leicester City 3–0 at St Mary’s to make it four consecutive wins. Martin Starke is joined by Steve Grant and Glen de la Cour to break down another dominant performance, a buzzing home atmosphere, and a team that suddenly looks confident, organised and effective.

– Saints’ set-piece improvement and clearer structure under Tonda 

• The Tonda Question:
