Southampton face a test to sustain their fine form as they go into the first of seven matches in 22 days with important defensive injuries. Both of their first-choice full-backs will miss the visit of Burnley, who will be aiming to become the first team in seven matches to score against Southampton. Sean Dyche’s side have also been performing well lately and will fancy their chances of collecting their first away point of the campaign. Paul Doyle
