Southampton face Leicester at St Mary's before two trips to Manchester City

They take on Leicester at St Marty's tonight before a double header of away trips to face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night before a Premier League fixture at the Etihad Stadium a week tomorrow.

Saints have the luxury of being able to fly to and from Manchester for both matches meaning the travel should not be too much of an issue.

And with the gaps between the games falling nicely thanks to Sky selecting tonight's match for live screening via Friday night football it gives them even more respite.

Even though Hasenhuttl is expected to make changes for the Cup tie at City, and then reverse the majority of them for the Premier League game, he thinks there is enough breathing space to be content with how things have fallen.

He said: "I have a little plan but the main plan is for Friday.

"We have enough time until Tuesday and Friday, Tuesday, Saturday is a good schedule and I cannot say it is negative for us.

"First the main goal is the Friday and after four games at home we really need to show our supporters that we can take the three points and this is the only target we have all week.

"Since the last game we are focusing on this game and the guys have been very concentrated in the sessions and feel it was important we took something against Wolves and now it’s an important game for us."
