Ryan Bertrand isn't surprised by Southampton's success this season.
Bertrand arrived on-loan in the summer from Everton.
"Probably from the outside (you could not have predicted this) when you see a club lose a lot of players and a manager - a manager more-so, for me," the on-loan Chelsea left-back said.
"But the people behind the scenes at Southampton have brought in a world-class manager and world-class players.
"As soon as I came in and saw the players, saw everyone training and what they're capable of, it's not a surprise to me.
"A lot of people can talk on the outside about how we're going to finish or what's going to happen throughout the season, but the only people who can control it is us.
"As long as we keep working hard and doing the right things well, we're coming out on top at the minute."
