MATCH PREVIEW

Whatever the outcome of Southampton's season, it has been a success, but Ronald Koeman is challenging his players to mark it with a European place. Even if they finish seventh, it will still be their highest-ever Premier League finish and they have already matched last season's points total with six games to play. No-one would have predicted their current scenario back in August.

It has been built on a tremendous defensive foundation. Only 22 goals conceded is the best record in all four divisions and they have already kept 15 clean sheets. Even after the injury to goalkeeper Fraser Forster, Kelvin Davies has come into the side to maintain that record.

They have recently struggled at the other end of the pitch, scoring only seven times in their last 10 games - that will need to improve in their remaining games to get above Liverpool and Tottenham. In fact, their next game at home to Spurs, when they welcome back former manager Mauricio Pochettino, will be huge if they can beat Stoke.

Mark Hughes' team have taken only one point from the last 12 and are on their longest winless league run of the season. In general, they have been another success story, given their financial restrictions. The manager's recent four-year deal has only added to the club's stability.

However, he will be determined for the season to not just fade away. It can be difficult for players mentally in a situation of total safety. That's why managers continue to set targets. In Hughes' case, he wants to better last season's record Premier League points total of 50.

Stoke are also looking for successive top-half finishes in the top division for the first time in 40 years, which would only further enhance the job Hughes has done in the Potteries.

Southampton's target is far more attractive, but many a mission has come unstuck at the Britannia Stadium over the years.
