Southampton boss Ruben Selles admits his players are "hurting" ahead of tomorrow's clash at Arsenal.

Saints go to Arsenal propping up the Premier League table.

Selles said, “We are hurting - all of us. We are just putting in so much to try to change the situation.

“Every game that goes without a result is hard and we're hurt. And this is something that we feel and people don't need to misunderstand that everybody, when we lose, feels bad and everybody's working hard.

“But the important thing is that the next day you wake up, you come here, we talk about it, we fix the mistakes and then we try to go once again and once again until the very end.

“Putting in energy, putting in the knowledge that I have and the way that I know of how to do things. It's not hard for me it's just that right now I need to be sure that the people around me are still up.

“That's a challenge but I can do it and I think the technical staff are doing a fantastic job on that. Everybody's responding well to that. We are not giving any signal inside that we can be broken.

“People are working and still believe. It's just one game and we know that we have to get something. We need to be more robust and more consistent. It's hard but we are all doing our best."
