Champions League is in Southampton's sights - Steven Davis

After morale-boosting wins over Arsenal and Manchester United, the Saints midfielder believes that maintaining their form for a little longer would make them serious contenders

Southampton midfielder Steven Davis says that the dream of Champions League qualification is starting to come into focus.

Ronald Koeman's side have exceeded expectations in the Premier League and currently sit third in the table, two points clear of Manchester United in fourth.

Sunday's 1-0 win at United continued a run of good form for Southampton that has seen the Saints pick up 13 points from a possible 15, with morale at St Mary's Stadium high after wins over the likes of Everton and Arsenal as well as a 1-1 draw with leaders Chelsea.

"We're growing as a team and we know we can come against these teams and compete on a consistent basis," Davis told the club's official website.

"I think if, when we get to the end of January [to] end of February and we're in a similar position, then we can start to realistically go at it [the Champions League].

"We're in a great position, we're enjoying our football, every game we look forward to and we can't ask for anything more at this point in time.

"It's just about trying to keep that consistency and keep the desire within the team to go out and get results."
