SAINTS will welcome Burnley to St Mary’s in the hope of following up on the 1-0 victory over Leeds United last weekend.

The game will kick off on Saturday, 23 October at 3PM and as such will not be available to view on TV or stream, but pundits of Sky Sports have still cast their prediction.

Sean Dyche’s side are yet to win a game in the Premier League this season while Armando Broja’s winner last Saturday was the first of the campaign.

The visitors have picked up just three points in eight matches and are at risk of finding themselves embroiled in a relegation scrap if unable to turn it around.

Ralph Hasenhuttl will hope that that turnaround for his side is happening now, with a kind run of games that still includes Watford, Aston Villa and Norwich after Saturday’s clash.

Jeff Stelling, popular host of Soccer Saturday, has predicted a 1-1 draw between the two sides at St Mary’s. That result would leave Saints on eight points after nine games.

Burnley would remain in the bottom three with four points from the eight.

However, Neil Mellor has predicted that Burnley will actually walk away from the ground with maximum points following a 0-1 win – their first of the campaign. That could see Burnley potentially leapfrog Leeds out of the relegation zone, should Marcelo Bielsa’s side lose.
