Southampton boss Ronald Koeman feels his side can produce a win over Manchester United if they return to their early-season form.
The Saints have not won since the 2-0 home result over Leicester City on November 8 with a draw against Aston Villa and losses to Manchester City and Arsenal succeeding that triumph.
Koeman is preparing his third-placed side for the home meeting with fourth-placed United on Monday night, with Louis van Gaal's side on a four-game winning run, but the Saints manager is targeting a win if their best form can be rediscovered.
"A win? It is important for the team," he said. "Always when you don't win some games, you need a win.
"If we play like we did last Wednesday (against Arsenal) we have chances to win on Monday. If we play like the last 20 minutes against City then we don't win on Monday.
"I believe in the way of playing and that is the most important thing because that has brought us all the points we have this season."
