Instead, Southampton have their FA Cup commitments where they will welcome Burnley to St. Mary's. The last time the Saints played an FA Cup match at home, they comfortably emerged 3-0 winners.

On top of that, they tasted a crucial Premier League win just days ago to elevate their momentum. Thus, this clash sounds like an easy win, right? Well, honestly it isn't.

That's because this Burnley team is in Southampton's last season's shoes. They have been undefeated this year and are on track to complete a Premier League return at the first Championship attempt itself.

A huge part of their glowing success is due to starters like Connor Roberts, Egan-Riley, Zian Flemming and Josh Brownhill. Further, the latter duo have been their biggest goalscoring options with Brownhill chipping in with valuable assists as well.

Therefore, Ivan Juric must plan accordingly to prevent them from scoring important goals. Observing the head-to-head records, they have mostly been balanced which conveys that a thoroughly entertaining game is on the cards tomorrow.
