The Premier League is finally back this weekend after almost three months since Southampton finished last season with a 1-1 draw at home to Huddersfield Town.
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side kick-off the 2019/20 campaign with a tricky trip to Burnley, so we’ve taken a trip down memory lane to recall the most recent victories over Saturday’s opponents.
Saints have had a difficult time against the Clarets in the past couple of seasons, with Hasenhuttl, Mark Hughes and Mauricio Pellegrino all failing to beat Sean Dyche’s team.
In their last five encounters, Burnley have won two with the other three ending up all square, with there usually being little to choose between the two sides.
However, it will be nice to visit Turf Moor in August this time around as Saints have been used to an uncomfortable clash in the middle of winter on each occasion since their return to the Premier League.
Here are the last five Saints wins over Burnley.
