Burnley's first corner of the game is met by Mee near the penalty spot but he's unable to get his header on target.
9'
Tadic, playing on the right today, cuts back onto his left foot and crosses for Redmond, whose header is deflected behind by Keane.
7'
Hendrick and Marney play a clever one-two to get out of a tight space in their own half before the latter tries to find Gray who is taken out by Van Dijk just as the ball is released. It was accidental, but Southampton have got lucky there.
4'
Bertrand gets forward down Southampton's left and crosses low for Long, who had made a good run across the near post, but Keane tracked him well and deflects his glanced effort wide.
2'

Redmond takes kick-off and we're underway.
15:00
The silence, which was also a tribute to Burnley fans who passed away in 2016, was immaculately observed.
14:59
Before kick-off there will be a minute's silence to remember Graham Taylor.
14:55
Both teams are wearing their traditional colours, so that's Burnley in claret shirts with a touch of blue and Southampton in red and white stripes. The referee is Paul Tierney.
14:49
Pictureesque.
14:45
A couple of interesting stats; Burnley are the only Premier League team not to have earned a point from a losing position this season while Southampton have dropped a league-high 14 points from winning positions. Is today Burnley's chance?
14:40
A look at previous meetings through some particularly rose-tinted glasses, but there are some nice goals in here, especially Nathaniel Clyne's.
14:35
With kick-off 25 minutes away, here's a reminder of the two teams in full. BURNLEY: Heaton, Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward, Hendrick, Marney, Defour, Boyd, Barnes, Gray. Subs: Robinson, Vokes, Kightly, Barton, Flanagan, Darikwa, Tarkowski. /// SOUTHAMPTON: Forster, Cedric, Yoshida, Van Dijk, Bertrand, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Hojbjerg, Tadic, Long, Redmond. Subs: Taylor, Martina, Steohens, Clasie, Reed, Rodriguez, Sims.
14:27
Southampton's overall form is a stark contrast to Burnley's at home. Puel's side have lost their last three league matches but did enjoy a win over Liverpool in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final in midweek and the manager wants to see that performance replicated today. "I hope we can play this game with the same levels, the same attitude and concentration," he said. "We can see a good game, a strong game together in defence and now it’s important to keep this regularity."
14:23
Back on Burnley's home form, it really can't be overstated how important it is for them as 22 of their 23 points this season have come at home. Victory today would be their fourth home win in a row and tie the club's record in the Premier League.
14:20
He'll have bad memories of this place, having missed a penalty in that 1-0 defeat in 2014.
14:15
“The home form has been excellent and I’m really pleased with that and I’m pleased with the supporters," Dyche said this week on the back of a run of five wins in six matches at Turf Moor. “The work ethic, the care, the attention by the players to give everything to win a game and do well for Burnley Football Club has been really obvious and the crowd really enjoy that, so it’s great that we can back that up with good results.” The manager also described Southampton as "big club in their own right", but urged his players not to "overthink" who the opposition are.

These two side have met only three times previously in the Premier League. Southampton have won two of those but the only meeting at Turf Moor, back in late 2014, ended 1-0 to Burnley.
14:04
The main headline from Southampton's team is that ex-Burnley man Jay Rodriguez has to make do with a place on the bench, while wantaway Jose Fonte is not in the squad. In total Claude Puel has made four changes from the side that lost 3-0 to Everton in the club's last league match.
14:01
Sean Dyche makes two changes to the side that played in Burnley's last league fixture, a 2-1 defeat at Manchester City. Dean Marney and Steven Defour come in for Scott Arfield and Johann Berg Gudmundsson.
