Southampton manager says team must show quality in their final match of 2016

Claude Puel says a winning end for Southampton to 2016 will be difficult against a well-organised West Bromwich Albion team on New Year's Eve.

"It's a new game against a different opponent with a new style and profile and a very strong block," Puel said ahead of the match at St Mary's. "They like to defend together, so we may have difficulties to find space.

"We will have to show our quality."
