Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has urged his players to keep fighting for the Europa League.

Koeman's side have already set a new record points tally in the Premier League era and are on course for a best-ever finish, yet the way the season is petering out has dampened the mood somewhat.

"I'm not so happy about the last few weeks and we are always talking about the whole season," the Southampton manager said.

"We need a good reaction after the poor game we showed last week.

"It's a difficult opponent Leicester, full of confidence, and we have to come back to our level because it was a poor game."
