Southampton Preview – Will the Saints make it two wins on the spin?
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Southampton have had a tough time this season, starting with no wins from their opening seven in the Premier League. Before last weekend’s home match with Leeds United, the Saints had drawn four and lost three.
Southampton picked up a much-needed three points last time out, edging past Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds at St Mary’s. Eight minutes after the break, Armando Broja’s effort proved to be the difference.
After getting the monkey off their back last Saturday, Southampton would love to follow the win up with another three points here, especially against one of their potential relegation rivals. The home team are the bookies’ favourites at 19/20.
Burnley Preview – Can the Clarets leave with a positive result?
Burnley, Newcastle United and Norwich City are the only three clubs yet to taste Premier League success this season. All three are in the drop zone, with the Clarets only above the Magpies on goal difference.
It has been a difficult spell for Sean Dyche and his Burnley team, as they have kicked off their campaign with three draws and five defeats. After stalemates with Leicester City and Norwich, the Lancashire side were beaten 2-0 by Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in their last outing.
