Mauricio Pellegrino insists he needs results and not just performances ahead of Southampton's relegation crunch match with Newcastle

Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino insists his players are well aware they are in a relegation scrap and believes they are up to the task of securing their survival.

Saints travel to fellow strugglers Newcastle on Saturday in a crucial match with both sides hovering precariously just above the bottom three.

Pellegrino's side have won just one of their last 15 Premier League matches, against rock-bottom West Brom.
