Leicester's Carabao Cup tie against Southampton has been rearranged for November 27 after it was postponed following the helicopter crash that claimed the life of Foxes owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Srivaddhanaprabha's helicopter came down outside the King Power Stadium following Leicester's match against West Ham United on Saturday, killing him and four others.

Southampton were originally due to travel to Leicester for the fourth-round clash on Tuesday, but the Foxes' first match since the tragedy is now away at Cardiff City on Saturday.

Leicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was among five people killed in a helicopter crash on Saturday.
