Burnley will probably continue to make steady progress as long as Sean Dyche remains at the helm and they are unlikely to roll over at Southampton.

Discontent is growing among Saints fans. The club are aiming for a top-seven finish but they are tenth after ten games, despite having played just one of the big six.

Burnley have had a much tougher start to the season and have sustained only two defeats. They are fine value to collect another point.

Recommendation
Draw
1pt 14-5 Betfair, Betfred
