Claude Puel says Southampton need to be more ruthless in front of goal when they take on Leicester City at St Mary’s Stadium on Sunday.
Saints have lost four successive Premier League matches but the manager has been encouraged by recent performances.

Puel’s side lost 1-0 at Burnley either side of cup victories by the same scoreline – the EFL Cup semi-final first leg against Liverpool and a FA Cup fourth round replay with Norwich City – and he said Saints need to convert more of their chances.
"It’s important for us to continue this good play, but also to be clinical, and this at the moment we are lacking that and it’s important to find this,” Puel told southamptonfc.com.
