Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard is relishing the chance to end Southampton's excellent run of form.
Villa endured a run of just one win in eight matches before the much-needed 2-0 victory at Brighton and Gerrard wants to see more consistency from his side as they bid to make a strong end to the season.
“We can certainly see the belief and the confidence on the back of that result," Gerrard said.
“The players knew that they'd put in a really strong performance, they were really difficult to play against and at the right times we went and hurt Brighton.
“Our game plan certainly played off, the players went and delivered that and it was on the back of a couple of tough weeks, so you can certainly see a bit of a release and relief in them by getting that win.
“Now it's all about backing it up this weekend going into a home fixture. We don't want to be inconsistent."
