TEAM NEWS: Southampton v Burnley

KEITH Treacy returns to the starting line-up as Burnley bid to continue their excellent away form against Southampton this afternoon.

The winger's inclusion, in place of Josh McQuoid, is the only change to the side which drew 1-1 at home to Peterborough United last week.

Charlie Austin, who starts up front alongside top scorer Jay Rodriguez, has scored in all four of his appearances against the Saints.

A goal this afternoon would be the striker's first since defeat at Leeds United on January 2 – the Clarets' last away Championship defeat – while a win this afternoon would make that nine on the road this season for Eddie Howe's men.

Second placed Southampton haven't won at home since Boxing Day.

SOUTHAMPTON: Kelvin Davis; Frazer Richardson, Jos Hooiveld, Jose Fonte, Danny Fox; Guy do Prado, Morgan Schneiderlin, Adam lallana; Billy Sharp, Rickie Lambert.

Subs: Dean Hammond, Aaron Martin, Tadanari Lee, David Connolly, Jason Puncheon.

BURNLEY: Lee Grant; Kieran Trippier, Michael Duff, David Edgar, Ben Mee; Ross Wallace, Dean Marney, Chris McCann, Keith Treacy; Charlie Austin, Jay Rodriguez.

Subs: Brian Jensen, Zavon Hines, Josh McQuoid, Marvin Bartley, Brian Easton.
