What is it? Burnley look to continue their positive run of form in the Premier League away at 13th place Southampton. When is it? It is the Saturday lunchtime game on February 15. What time is kick-off? The game gets under way at 12.30pm. What TV channel is it on? BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate have live coverage and begin their broadcast at noon. We are live blogging the game at The Telegraph too, and you can spend the 90 minutes in the company of our resident tactical expert JJ Bull. What is the team news? Southampton"s only injury worry before the international break was James Ward-Prowse, but Ralph Hasenhuttl revealed he only suffered a cut knee so should return this weekend. Ashley Barnes is still some time away from a return following hip surgery but Johann Berg Gudmundsson could be back in the Burnley squad after a thigh injury. What are Telegraph writers saying? Chief football writer Sam Wallace on Southampton"s plans and Hasenhuttl"s future: The club has been restructured in recent months with the arrival from the Football Association of new director of football operations Matt Crocker, who had previously worked at Southampton’s academy. The work on rebuilding the squad began last month with the departure of Cedric Soares and Maya Yoshida on loan in the transfer window to Arsenal and Sampdoria respectively, both older players who will be free agents in the summer. Hasenhüttl’s influence is crucial with the Austrian expected to set the path for the foreseeable future. His input is anticipated in every part of the club and the new contract will discourage any Premier League or Bundesliga clubs looking at him as a potential new appointment. What are the odds? Southampton 4/5 Burnley 10/3 Draw 5/2 What is our prediction? Burnley appeared doomed six weeks ago but have turned things around with an outstanding seven points from nine from fixtures against Leicester, Manchester United and Arsenal. Southampton are perhaps on the wrong side of their strong run of form over Christmas, and have saved their best football for away matches this season. When they are asked to take the initiative and create chances from long spells of possession, they sometimes struggle. Verdict: Southampton 1 Burnley 1
