Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl says they're not yet safe.

Following Cardiff's midweek victory over fellow relegation-battlers Brighton, Hasenhuttl knows there is still more work to be done.

"For sure we need more than 36 points," Hasenhuttl said as he prepared the squad for Saturday's trip to Newcastle.

"We are five points clear of Cardiff, three points clear of Brighton. But you see the result on Tuesday shows nobody gives up, there is no knockout for Cardiff, they are still alive.

"I expect them to fight very hard until the end. We have to do the same, and I can guarantee we will do.

"We have been speaking about the 40 points and therefore we need four more."
