The Saints have only won once (a 3-0 victory at Cardiff) in their last nine games, seeing them slip to ninth in the Premier League although ex-Clarets Jay Rodriguez and Rickie Lambert are still among the goals.

Burnley, on the other hand, are placed second in the Championship, thanks largely to the form of Danny Ings, who has scored 19 times this season.
