Southampton fullback Nathaniel Clyne sees next week's clash with Liverpool as decisive in their top four battle.
Saints currently are four points ahead of Liverpool.
"It is another game we're looking forward to playing," he said. "We know Liverpool are a good side.
"It is going to be another tough test for us, but I am sure if we play like we did (against West Ham) we can go and get the three points we're looking for.
"I mean, if we get the win then we can push for that top four and hopefully we can stay there for the rest of the season."
