Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino is confident that his side are on the right track despite poor performance recently.

The south coast club have endured a bit of a roller coaster campaign so far and the fans were certainly not left happy after the Saints suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Burnley last weekend.

Nonetheless, Pellegrino believes that Southampton are currently on the right track and is confident that they will return back to form in the upcoming games.

Pellegrino, whose team were booed off at St Mary's after the loss against Burnley, said: "I think our results have been irregular. When you think four or five games we deserved a little bit more.

"We've played better than the points we have in the table. When we think about Burnley, Swansea, Stoke or Manchester United, we deserved more.

"Two or three points is massive because there are ten or 12 teams that are within three points. More or less at the end of last season between 8th and 17th there was six points. We are talking about two games between ten or 12 teams. But I think we're on the right track."
