manager Claude Puel is refusing to look beyond his club's final match of the season amid speculation he will be sacked.
The Saints host Stoke at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday in what will be their concluding match of a largely disappointing campaign.
Although Southampton reached the final of the EFL Cup, they failed to progress to the knockout stages of the Europa League and will finish the Premier League season with their lowest points tally in four years.
Frenchman Puel signed a three-year deal last summer but it has been reported that Sunday’s match could be his last in charge; Saints’ executive director Les Reed will review his performance over the season next week.
