Ruben Selles says it will be "difficult" to keep Southampton in the Premier League, but insists his side will "fight until the very last point".

Saints remain at the foot of the Premier League table and are six points adrift of safety with five games remaining. Difficult tests in the shape of Newcastle, Fulham, Brighton and Liverpool await them in their final five games, and the possibility of a late rescue mission looks extremely unlikely.
