Burnley travel to Southampton for their Premier League clash on Sunday.
Before the international break, the Saints’ abject form in the league continued but they did advance to the FA Cup semi-final with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth.
Moussa Djenepo and a double from Nathan Redmond sent Southampton to Wembley, and they will need the firepower to get past a stubborn Burnley outfit.
Sean Dyche’s team are unbeaten in their last three, drawing with both Leicester and Arsenal before a win at Everton.
