Southampton midfielder Stuart Armstrong has dismissed claims of relegation this season.

The St Mary's side are currently languishing in the bottom three following Saturday's disappointing defeat to Everton.

But Armstrong told the Daily Echo: “We certainly need to get some points out of them because nobody wants to be towards the bottom of the table.

“Points are very important for us at the moment. I think it's still very early days [to think about relegation].

“A lot of things can change in football because it's a very transient game.

“We will keep believing in ourselves.

“We are a group that believe in ourselves and we go into every game thinking we can do well and get points out of it."
