Ronald Koeman ready for "tough" week

Ronald Koeman believes that Southampton must be more clinical in front of goal, as they prepare to face Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has said that his side are looking forward to a difficult week of Premier League fixtures.

The Saints host Manchester City in their next match, before taking on Arsenal and Manchester United.

Koeman's side came from behind to claim a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa on Monday evening, but the Dutchman believes that they must improve in the final third ahead of their next match.

"Maybe Villa were more dangerous than it will be on Sunday against City," he told BBC Sport. "We know we have a tough week but we look forward to playing against City.

"It is a pleasure to play that kind of teams and show our quality, but to have a chance we need a little bit more quality in front of goal than we showed today."

Southampton are currently second in the Premier League table.
