Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino urges his squad to feed off winning 'drug' as they bid to avoid relegation

Mauricio Pellegrino has challenged his Southampton team to feed off the winning 'drug' to pull themselves clear of the Premier League relegation battle.

The Saints host Burnley on the back of three victories from their previous five matches.

While two of those have come in the FA Cup - where Southampton will next head to Sky Bet League One Wigan in a bid to reach the semi-finals at Wembley - Pellegrino believes it shows his squad have the needed mentality.
