Southampton defender Jack Stephens has insisted it is "not the time to panic" despite their third defeat in six days.
Saints' 3-0 reverse at Everton on Monday completed a difficult Christmas period for Claude Puel's side.
But Stephens, who made his Premier League debut at Goodison Park, believes a change of form is on the cards.
"We just need that little bit of extra luck, or extra quality to go 1-0 up," he told BBC Radio Solent. "These things happen and we'll bounce back."
Stephens, 22, found himself introduced in the sixth minute at Everton, when injury forced Cedric Soares off.
