Southampton face a trip to Burnley at Turf Moor at tea-time on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Saints will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 14 and win only 5 of the 22 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2006, with Southampton inflicting a narrow 2 - 3 defeat upon the Clarets in a Championship match.
