Southampton captain Steven Davis calls for hostile atmosphere at St Mary's to inspire Manchester United upset: 'We want big scalps this season'

Southampton are hoping to cause a few Premier League upsets this season and fans must create a hostile atmosphere when Manchester United visit St Mary's Stadium on Saturday, skipper Steven Davis has said.

The midfielder said the south coast club, who beat Crystal Palace last weekend, had the quality to beat any side in the league and had to prove his point against high-flying United.

'That goes without saying and we want some big scalps this season, we've managed to do that in previous seasons and there's no reason why we can't do it again,' Davis told the Southern Daily Echo.
