Southampton boss Tonda Eckert is happy to see his side take on Coventry City this weekend

Eckert had won six of his first seven outings as Saints boss before seeing them lose to Norwich last time out.

But speaking to BBC Radio Solent this week, Eckert said playing the Sky Blues was the best game possible for his side right now.

He said: "If you have big ambitions for the season you have to be disappointed with Saturday (but) it's important to clear your head. We'll be fully prepared to go big on Saturday.
