Southampton face a trip to Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Saints will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2007, with Southampton inflicting a narrow 2 - 3 defeat upon the Clarets in a Championship match.
