Southampton boss Nathan Jones admits he's a fan of Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Serbian striker notched his tenth league goal of the campaign as Fulham cruised past nine-man Crystal Palace 3-0 on Boxing Day.

Saints go to Fulham this weekend and Jones says: “They have had real continuity there.

“They've gone up, they've come down, they've had a good way of playing, a lot of players who have been there regularly, been there for years. So they've got a lot of continuity.

“Always a tough game, they have a goalscorer that scores whatever league he plays in. It will be a tough game, it always is. We had two tough games against them last year, we were better at home, they were categorically better away. So it will be a tough game.

“They've probably shed a few players, added a little bit more quality, and just kept that continuity. They're a good side so it will be a tough game."
