Leicester Citys remarkable run to the Premier League title last season taught an invaluable lesson to fans and pundits alike -- you dont always have to have the highest wage bill to win. But as magical as that run was for Claudio Ranieri and Co., it was always going to be a struggle for them to defend their title.Coming off last weekends 4-1 loss to Manchester United, the Foxes (2-1-3) are aiming to get back to their winning ways Sunday against Southampton at King Power Stadium on Sunday.The big boys always come calling, and while the club did well to keep hold of star men Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, perhaps the most vital piece of that title-winning side, NGolo Kante, departed for the blue pastures of Chelsea.The champions only goal against Man U came from Demarai Grey, who struck in the 59th-minute with an outstanding hit from distance. It was merely consolation as Ranieri admitted his boys simply switched off against a talented United side.Its very strange because the first 20 minutes we started well, moved the ball quickly and put them under pressure, Ranieri told the clubs official television channel. Suddenly then we conceded a goal with a corner and thats strange because were strong on the corner.We lost our confidence and strength. We started to try to do something alone, but not as a team.Despite the heavy defeat in league play, the Foxes passed a bigger test with flying colours thanks to an impressive 1-0 win over Porto in the Champions League group stage Tuesday. Algeria international Islam Slimani has been a revelation since signing with Leicester in the summer, and it was his first-half header that propelled the club to the victory.Captain Wes Morgan remarked that Tuesdays victory allowed the club to show their character.It was a fantastic night for everyone involved with Leicester City, Morgan told LCFC TV. The fans were amazing. You could really feel the energy from the crowd and that translated into the team.We worked really hard and it wasnt an easy game but we came out victorious and thats the main thing.Southampton (2-2-2), on the other hand, are aiming to continue their ascent up the Premier League table following their best performance to date, a 3-0 thrashing of West Ham United last week. Charlie Austin, Joel Ward-Prowse and Dusan Tadic all scored to lead the Saints past the struggling east London outfit -- a result which certainly delighted manager Claude Puel.It was a very good second half. Our first half was not interesting, Puel said. It was not good football from us, but it was important to correct this in the second half. We scored three good goals and we didnt take a goal against us, which is always important. The defence and the attack is the work of all the team.All of the team defended and all of the players attack. If we respect this for the future, we can make something very good.The Saints also collected an impressive point in Europa League play on Thursday following a scoreless draw with Israeli side Hapoel Beer Sheva.I think it is a good point because we played a good team who have good physical and technical players, Puel said. It was important to come back with a point when we cannot get three for the future.Defender Virgil van Dijk believes the result can only help team spirit.I think that shows the team spirit at the moment, van Dijk said. It was a tough game and we knew before the game it was going to be tough with their fans behind them, and theyve got a couple of quality players as well.

Nike Off White Air Max Nz . -- Sergey Tolchinksy scored his second goal of the game 3:56 into overtime as the Sault Ste. The Cleveland Indians made a big move to bolster their bullpen on Sunday, acquiring All-Star left-hander Andrew Miller from the New York Yankees for a package of prospects.The Yankees will receive four players in return, a package headed by minor league outfielder Clint Frazier and pitcher Justus Sheffield.Frazier and Sheffield are considered two of Clevelands top three prospects. Frazier was selected by the Indians with the fifth pick in the 2013 draft; Sheffield was drafted by Cleveland in the first round in 2014.Minor league pitchers?Ben Heller and J.P. Feyereisen are also heading to New York.The Yankees had been entertaining offers for Miller, though the price for the left-hander was considered steep, a source told ESPNs Buster Olney. The chances that Miller would be traded increased after the Yankees traded closer Aroldis Chapman to the Cubs last week.I loved my time here. I enjoyed playing in New York. I liked living in New York, Miller said before the Yankees game Sunday in Tampa. I like the guys here. Im going to miss that. Its a time Im going to look back at fondly. For me now, its a chance to go to a team thats in the thick of it and has big plans for this year. So, you have to look at the positives and helping those guys reach their goals.Miller, 31, appeared in 44 games for the Yankees this season, posting a 6-1 record with a 1.39 ERA and nine saves. He is averaging 15.3 strikeouts per nine innings and has allowed runs in just eight of 44 appearances.Miller has more than $21 million left on his contract, which runs through 2018, and sources told ESPNs Jayson Stark that the Indians are on the hook for all of it.Miller owns a career ERA of 2.72 with Detroit, Florida, Boston, Baltimore and New York. Indians manager Terry Francona is expected to use him in the eighth inning along with right-hander Bryan Shaw as the bridge to closer Cody Allen.Were getting one of the very elite relievers in all of baseball, Francona said. [Indians president] Chris [Antonetti] and the guys just went and got the very best guy there was. If you dont think other teams wanted him, youre crazy. They didnt go halfway. They went and got the best there is. Theres no better message.The Indians are also feeding off a positive vibe in the city started when the Cavaliers, their next-door neighbors in Gateway Plaza, won the NBA championship last month to end Clevelannds 52-year title drought.ddddddddddddHes the perfect guy to have and we got him, Allen said before the clubs series finale with Oakland. It breathes a lot of life into this clubhouse. Were in first place with the guys we have, but to get a game-changer like Miller, that lets us know everybody in the front office wants to win as badly a
