📊 The latest Opta predicted Championship table has Southampton making the play-offs by two points #saintsfc [sky]

Canada head coach Jesse Marsch: “Cyle Larin’s move to Southampton is exactly what he needed. He's playing outstanding, made a huge impact. He's going to come into camp in top form, which is exactly what we need. Couldn’t be more excited for Cyle right now.” #saintsfc

After last night's performance against Norwich, #SaintsFC goalkeeper Daniel Peretz now boasts the highest save percentage in the Championship this season 🧱

Finn Azaz on Daniel Peretz: "He's been unbelievable. So many saves and so many moments where he'll just kill the momentum by catching it or keeping it. I've really enjoyed playing with him, he's been a great addition." #saintsfc

Finn Azaz: “To be honest the mentality in the dressing room now is that we’re looking at fifth, we’re looking at fourth, we’re looking at the next game. We’re not thinking 'we’re in sixth now'. We’re looking at where we want to go.” #saintsfc

Finn Azaz: "We work on throw-ins quite a bit & I knew what was coming. We’ve got different things that I don’t want to give too much away for opponents. Obviously a good flick-on by Cyle, but I knew what was coming & it was just instinct really." #saintsfc

Finn Azaz: "I think within the squad it [resilience] was there, and then the manager’s obviously had a huge impact in bringing us together and making that stronger, and that belief. Now we’re just like a machine." #saintsfc

Finn Azaz: "It wasn’t perfect, but we showed our character and determination. We dug deep and those are the hardest games, but those are the best ones to win. The most important thing is to win for momentum." #saintsfc

Tonda Eckert: "We make sure that we recover and then we go stronger on Saturday, a big, big game for us coming up and then we have a couple of days of rest. One last push, we prep on Friday, and then a big challenge on Saturday, but we make sure that we're ready to go." #saintsfc

Tonda Eckert: “I think there's games where we get the pressure higher up the pitch a bit better than we did today. But if you know how to defend lower, it's not a problem. Sometimes you need a goalkeeper that helps you, but overall a very resilient team performance.” #saintsfc

Tonda Eckert on the fitness of Leo Scienza & Ross Stewart: "It was close, and we will try to push for Saturday to see how the next days go, but let's hope that they are available." #saintsfc @AlfieHouseEcho

Tonda Eckert on Edozie: "I think Sam has outstanding quality. We wanted a winger on the pitch, but even more important for me as a manager is he just defends with everything he has, because we knew that he had to control a good player down the side." #saintsfc @AlfieHouseEcho

Tonda Eckert: "A tough one. There's a reason why they won 10 of the last 13 games. A good team, good players, very well-managed. We knew that it's not going to be easy. In the end, these are the games that you need to make sure to bring over the line." #saintsfc @AlfieHouseEcho

Tonda Eckert on Daniel Peretz: "He's only getting better & better. For a goalkeeper, especially, it's not so easy if you are out for a longer time to find your rhythm, & it's good to see that he has. It was just like Coventry, another top performance." #saintsfc @AlfieHouseEcho

🚨 GOAL! FINN AZAZ! #saintsfc x.com/ProperFootyVip…

Here’s how Southampton line up to face Norwich this evening #saintsfc

Tonda Eckert on Downes and Bree avoiding suspensions: “It does make it a little easier. They both live from the quality of their duels. Very happy that we got that one over the line. I think it will help tomorrow.” #saintsfc

Tonda Eckert on Flynn Downes: “The consistency of playing. I don’t think he has missed a single session, I think he needs that for his game. He’s grown into a leadership role within the group. He’s in a very good spot.” #saintsfc

🚨 Tonda Eckert on team news: “Leo [Scienza] and Ross [Stewart] have been on the pitch today. We will see tomorrow. Jay [Robinson] has been with the team. Welington will have his first session on Thursday.” #saintsfc
