Statement - Ryan Lowe, Preston North End coach
The manager praised Southampton and knows it will be a tough challenge to face them:
"We've faced some good teams and Southampton are right in the mix. They are a good team with some fantastic players (...) They are where they should be. It's a challenge for them to get back out of the division, but for us it's about getting there with the belief and confidence that we have."
Statements - Russell Martin, Southampton coach
The technical director is not confident about Preston North End:
"We know what to expect. They are very physical, very strong, athletic, powerful and really good at what they do and the way they play. So they will definitely try to make it difficult for us. We have to play in it the same way we've played in the last two games."
