(Reuters) - Leicester City took a huge step towards a Premier League return with a 2-1 home win over West Bromwich Albion but Southampton's automatic promotion hopes are hanging by a thread after they lost by the same scoreline at Cardiff City on Saturday.

Wilfried Ndidi and Jamie Vardy were on target for Leicester, with Vardy also missing a penalty, as the Foxes edged past their Midlands rivals who are bound for the playoffs.
