Hughes: Momentum is key for Southampton
Mark Hughes says Southampton need to make the most of their recent momentum boost as they look to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
"Momentum is great if you gain momentum at the right time. Clearly if you are going for trophies and you are playing well in key games then that will help you to be successful," Hughes said.
"The same is true for teams in our situation. If we can build momentum on the back of the Bournemouth result ten clearly that is going to help us at this stage of the season.
"Back-to-back results is massive at any stage of the season because invariably it shoves you up the table. We haven't been able to do it on too many occasions.
"If we are able to manage it at the weekend then clearly that is a huge boost for us with what we have ahead of us."
Southampton will travel to Everton this weekend before a huge game against Swansea next Tuesday.
