SAVE! WOW! As good a save as you'll ever see. Absolutely incredible from Tom Heaton to keep out a header from Austin. The Saints hitman thought he'd scored, but Heaton flung himself to his left and somehow palmed the ball wide. Stunning.

Nice intricate play from Southampton as Tadic and Austin link up inside the Burnley half, releasing the striking in behind the visitors' defence. He's too wide to get a shot away but he does win a corner, which the Clarets clear.

Five mins to go.

So, these two have met twice before in the Premier League, with both sides winning their home fixture. In fact, the Clarets have never beaten Southampton away from home in the top flight and the Saints go into the match as favourites.
15:45
Southampton, meanwhile, have steadied their ship after a stuttering start. They have lost only one of their last five and could go as high as eighth with a win.
15:40
Burnley sit just one point above the relegation zone (despite sitting in 14th) and have won only one of their last five games. However, they were unlucky not get a point in their last outing – a 1-0 defeat against Arsenal at Turf Moor.
15:35
For the visitors, Andre Gray serves the third game of his four-game ban, so Sam Vokes leads the line. Jeff Hendrick, a deadline day signing from Derby, has the responsibility of being the Clarets’ chief creator, tucked in behind the Welshman. Michael Keane of England fame is partnered in defence by Ben Mee, with Tom Heaton, who passed a late fitness test, in goal.
15:30
For Southampton, in-form Charlie Austin continues up front, with Dusan Tadic and Nathan Redmond either side. Oriol Romeu, who is on a fine run of form, anchors the midfield.
Southampton, who are unbeaten in three in the league, could go eighth with a win.
