Burnley vs Southampton

Here is Sportsmail's live blog for updates on the Premier League clash between Burnley and Southampton.

They desperately need to regroup at the break and step things up in the second half. Romain Perraud switches the ball to Kyle Walker-Peters in acres of space on the right-hand side and the wing-back cuts inside before seeing his shot deflect behind for a corner. The Clarets are in desperate need of three points against Southampton, with a win required to close the gap on Everton to one point in the relegation dogfight. Against the run of play Burnley are in front, and what a finish it is from Connor Roberts! Brownhill wins the ball on the right and finds Weghorst, who has a decent amount of space on the edge of Southampton's box. The Welshman picks up the ball on the edge of Southampton's box, moves it onto his left foot and curls it straight into the top corner. After some neat football deep in Southampton's half, Weghorst sets Brownhill on the edge of the box and the latter's attempt at a cross goes out for a goal kick. The centre-back rises above two Southampton players and steers his header into the back of the net, but there's a VAR check in place... The half-time whistle sounds and Burnley head in at the break two goals to the good. Romeu makes a great tackle in the middle of the park and finds Walker-Peters, whose cross is deflected behind for a corner. Southampton go down the other end and Walker-Peters whips in a cross from the right, but Burnley clear it with relative ease. Perraud picks up the ball on the left and tries to whip in a cross, but Pope is given a slight scare when it takes a wicked deflection and loops towards Burnley's goal.

Brett Pund gives his detailed thoughts, plus his top pick, for Thursday's Premier League match between Burnley and Southampton.

In the last six league matches, games involving Southampton have averaged a combined 2.97 xG per game. As we all know, Burnley isn’t the club you want to come up against if you struggle defending crosses. One key metric I like to look at for totals is the combined xG averages in recent games. This contest also features struggling defenses at the moment. The Clarets have to push for a victory and that urgency combined with poor defending should give us a great opportunity to see goals in this crucial match. To close out the midweek Premier League slate, Burnley hosts Southampton at Turf Moor on Thursday in a pivotal match at the bottom of the table.

Burnley vs Southampton will be a tense occasion at Turf Moor as the managerless hosts desperately need a win to give themselves a chance of staying up.

Hasenhuttl has yet to steer Saints to a top 10 finish and that is his main aim for the final six games of the season. The clock is ticking for the Clarets to save themselves and we can expect a raucous atmosphere at Turf Moor on Thursday. The shock of firing Sean Dyche appears to be over, for now, and caretaker boss Mike Jackson is largely using the same tactics Dyche did.

He said: "I’m not sure there’s a more unpredictable side in the league than Southampton. They lost 6-0 against Chelsea the week before, and then beat Arsenal 1-0 the following week! Team news should be with us from 6:45pm, with kick-off scheduled for an hour after that. Nathan Collins leaps highest from a corner and nods into the far post. This time, it bears fruit for the home side as the defender curls his great effort home. Hampshire Live will be right here to bring you all of the team news, build-up and reaction throughout the evening. The Spaniard should maybe be doing better there. He gets a very good connection but Forster somehow halts the effort. The same can certainly not be said of the Clarets though as they prepare to host Southampton. It should be 3-0 seconds into the second-half. 1-0 Burnley."

Burnley 2-0 Southampton: The Clarets won in their first home match since the shock sacking of Sean Dyche.

Roberts’ first Burnley goal was a beauty as he cut inside on his left and bent the ball beyond the reach of Forster. There has been no tactical revolution under Jackson but the Clarets were playing like they had received and understood the “jolt” he described Dyche’s sacking as providing. There were no chants for Dyche until the 87th minute, no anger directed at Pace in the directors’ box, just fulsome backing for the team.
