Southampton travel to take on Burnley at Turf Moor on Tuesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 14 out of 20 times.
The last time the two teams met at Burnley was way back in the black-and-white days of February 1978, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3 - 3 draw in a Second Division match.

Recent respective form guides
Burnley's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Clarets have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Southampton's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. Saints have conceded 9 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.
Burnley find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 46 points from their 39 matches. Southampton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 42 points from 39 matches.
