Close and competitive 90-minutes expected at St. Mary's
Before the international break, Southampton progressed through to the Sem-Finals of the FA Cup courtesy of a 3-0 away win over Bournemouth, but their league form has been poor of late. The Saints find themselves on level points with Burnley (33) and the two clubs have the same goal difference (-15), so there really isn't much between the two clubs this season. Southampton's form has dipped while Burnley's has improved and we're expecting that to culminate in a stalemate this Sunday. The hosts will be without the injured Smallbone, Romeu and Obafemi, while there remain doubts over Ings and Walcott, both of whom will face late fitness tests.
Sean Dyche has done a fantastic job with Burnley, especially this season when they have lost some good players and had very little money to buy replacements. Goals have been an issue for Burnley this season but their form has improved lately and they claimed a 2-1 win against Everton at Goodison Park before the international break, which should give them a huge confidence boost heading into this weekend's clash. Ashley Barnes won't make the trip to the south coast due to a thigh injury, while Brady, Long, Taylor and Cork are all rated at 50/50 as things stand.
