Southampton defender Maya Yoshida has warned they're not yet safe.

The Japan international and Saints will meet Newcastle United this weekend.

Yoshida said: "People are saying we are already safe, but I don't think so.

"We have to concentrate until the end. Our target is 40 points and if we win the next game then I'd probably say we are safe.

"They [Newcastle] are already safe but if you look back at our last few games, we are a much better team now.

"Our confidence means that we feel we can win more games and we still have five left where we will try to evolve."
