Coventry City manager Chris Coleman feels that Southampton are a good footballing side and could pose a number of threats to the Sky Blues tonight at St Mary's.

City beat Southampton 4-1 on October 4th and Chris Coleman has said that his players must keep the ball tonight.

"The fact that we beat Southampton a few weeks ago won't have any significance at all," said Coleman to the CT.

"Southampton lost heavily at Swansea at the weekend and that won't have any significance either because every game is different.

They play good football and did that against us in the first twenty minutes up here when we never saw a lot of the ball.

"I told our players before the game that they keep the ball very well and have a lot of possession in most of the games they play.

"We will be faced with the same tonight because they are a young team who don't play with any fear.

"Even though,we have not been on a great run,we are always confident that home and away, we can get something in the league. I am not going to say it is going to be easy as no game is but it is a game I am looking forward to at a nice stadium."

Jay Tabb is out for City with a rib injury but Guilly Beuzelin should be fit to play.
