Intro:

After five straight defeats and with multiple injury and suspension woes, Southampton manager Ronald Koeman looks ahead to Saturday's (20th December) English Premier League match against Everton.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (English): Ronald Koeman, Southampton FC manager:

"I like the way they (Everton) play, it's all about football, it's all about good ball possession, and I think that means that this Saturday it will be an attractive match, because it's about football, and we're looking forward (to it)."

SOUNDBITE (English): Ronald Koeman, Southampton FC manager:

"You know that we have three players' suspensions, Florian Gardos about the red cards, Morgan (Schneiderlin) and Victor (Wanyama). And we have some injuries, like Jay Rodriguez, Sam Gallagher, like Jack Cork. Dusan Tadic will not be available this Saturday and two players who are a little bit doubtful for the game against Everton this Saturday are Steven Davis and Graziano Pelle."

SOUNDBITE (English): Ronald Koeman, Southampton FC manager:

"Always you have to look - until now, if somebody asked me or said to me in the pre-season, after or in the middle of December you are fifth on the list (in EPL), I would have said, 'Give me the paper, I will sign it now'."
