Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters says he is fine with his side being labelled as underdogs for promotion.
Saints have 10 remaining games this season and still have to visit the three teams above them in the Championship table, over whom they have matches in hand.
They play Ipswich on Monday, Leicester on 23 April and Leeds in the final game of the campaign on 4 May.
"If others want to write us off then they're free to do that," he said.
"We're growing massively as a team, the unbeaten run showed that," Walker-Peters added to BBC Radio Solent.
