Southampton travel to Burnley in the Premier League tonight in the search for back-to-back wins.
Jan Bednarek helped end a miserable run of five defeats and a draw, as Southampton claimed all three points when they beat Champions League-chasing Arsenal 1-0 at St Mary’s last weekend.
For Burnley it will be the first time since October 2012 that the Clarets will take to the Turf Moor pitch without Sean Dyche in charge, who was sacked on 15 April 2022 after being with the club for nine and a half years.
Caretaker manager Mike Jackson saw his side draw 1-1 with West Ham last Sunday.
Wout Weghorst ended an eight-game goal drought by heading home the opener, before Maxwell Cornet missed from the penalty spot on the stroke of half time. The Ivorian’s miss would prove costly as the Hammers equalised in the 74th minute through Tomas Soucek.
