How can I watch it?

The match is live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event with coverage starting from 11:30am GMT.

What is the team news?

Danny Ings and Theo Walcott may be available after recovering from injuries during the international break. James Ward-Prowse may miss out after suffering a calf injury on international duty, while Oriol Romeu, William Smallbone and Michael Obafemi are out.

Burnley will be without Robbie Brady after the Irish winger aggravated his Achilles injury against Qatar. Jack Cork and Charlie Taylor are available but Kevin Long is a doubt, while Ashley Barnes won’t be fit in time for Sunday.

Predicted line-ups:

Southampton: Forster; Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Bertrand; Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Diallo, Djenepo; Adams, Ings

Burnley: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Gudmundsson, Westwood, Cork, McNeil, Vydra, Wood

Odds:

Southampton: 11/10

Draw: 9/4

Burnley: 14/5

Prediction:

Southampton and Burnley will both be eyeing a win, but the Saints are struggling in the league. Burnley are dangerous away from home, and I think they will come away with a point. 1-1.
