Burnley vs Southampton Preview
Southampton are currently in 12th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Saints stunned Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side with an impressive 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this week.
Burnley, on the other hand, are in 18th place in the league table at the moment and are fighting for their place in the Premier League this year. The home side held West Ham United to a commendable 1-1 draw over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
