    Burnley manager Sean Dyche gives summer signing Erik Pieters a place in the starting line-up following his arrival from Championship side Stoke City, while returning striker Jay Rodriguez takes a place on the bench.

    Mali winger Moussa Djenepo must wait for his first competitive appearance however, beginning today's game on the bench.

    Southampton XI: Gunn, Valery, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Stephens, Bertrand, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Adams, Ings, Redmond
