Preview...
It’s a big game for…
Jay Rodriguez. The former Burnley striker returns to his old stomping ground and will be expected to lead the line against his past employers in the absence of fellow ex-claret, Charlie Austin.
Best stat…
22 of Burnley’s 23 points have come from home results, the highest percentage of points won at home than any team in professional English Football (92 per cent).
The Clarets have also won six of the seven meetings against Southampton at Turf Moor, scoring a total of 23 goals in the process.
Remember when…
The last time these two met at Turf Moor? It resulted in a memorable 1-0 win for the home side, with Hampshire native Danny Ings setting up Ashley Barnes for a 72nd minute winner.
Player to watch…
Andre Gray. With the hosts' home form considered and the Saints struggling in the league at the moment, look for Burnley to use the pace of the former Bristol City man, who has scored four goals in his last five Premier League games.
Past three meetings…
Southampton 3 (Austin 2, Redmond) Burnley 1 (Vokes) St Mary’s Stadium, October, 2016
Southampton 2 (Long, Shackell OG) Burnley 0 St Mary’s Stadium, March 2015

40 mins: GOAL! SUNDERLAND 1 STOKE 3:
Is the comeback on at the Stadium of Light? A typical finish from Jermain Defoe, running on to a long ball over the Stoke defence before side-footing past Lee Grant, has brought the deficit down to two.
Where would they be without him?
Two places lower than they actually are.
SECOND HALF KICK-OFF: This afternoon's six Premier League matches are back underway and, as it stands, there are few home comforts. Four of the games are currently level - three of them goalless - and in the other two, the away teams find themselves in front. A lot can happen over the next 45 minutes, however.
Except at Turf Moor. I expect nothing will happen there.
50 mins: GOAL! HULL 2 BOURNEMOUTH 1:
A double for Abel Hernandez and Hull have turned it around at the KCOM! Receiving Robert Snodgrass's pass, the forward ran at Tyrone Mings before unleashing a super shot into the bottom corner of Artur Boruc's goal. If the Tigers can hold on and results elsewhere stay the same, it will take them above both Swansea City and Sunderland in the battle at the bottom.
