(Reuters) - A good performance and a positive outlook in Sunday's Premier League match at Arsenal is the "bare minimum" that struggling Southampton have to deliver, manager Mark Hughes said. The bare minimum is a good performance for the travelling fans and to be positive in our outlook," Hughes told reporters on Friday. Relegation-threatened Southampton were thumped 3-0 at West Ham United in their last outing and sit 18th in the table with 28 points from 31 games. "I expect a reaction from the team," Hughes, who took over from the sacked Mauricio Pellegrino last month, added. Midfielder Mario Lemina returned to training on Friday after an illness this week and faces a late test to be ready.
