Southampton have been inconsistent both home and abroad this season.

Saints players were put through their paces during training today, and a series of images were uploaded to the club’s official website, portraying the likes of Fraser Forster, James Ward-Prowse and Jose Fonte preparing for Thursday night’s huge Europa League game.

Southampton are set to host Israeli outfit Hapoel Be’er Sheva, knowing that anything other than a victory will see them crash out of the competition.

Here are a selection of images from Tuesday’s training session, posted on southamptonfc.com:

Claude Puel’s men head into the game on the back of an inconsistent run of form that has seen them win four, lose four and draw two out of their last 10 games in all competitions.

They have had moments of brilliance this season that have, unfortunately, been combined with moments of madness, that have consequently prevented them from progressing up the table in the manner which they would have liked.

And Southampton will certainly need a first class performance tomorrow if they are to progress through to the knock out stages of the competition.

The game kicks off at 20:05 and can be seen live on BT Sport 2.
