Burnley vs. Southampton Team and Injury News:

It’s that time of year again. Premier League football is back in our lives.

Southampton and Burnley begin their campaign against each other just like last year, though this time it’s at Turf Moor, the home of the Clarets.

Saints could hand full debuts to new summer signings Che Adams and Moussa Djenepo, while Ings - who was signed permanently in the summer after being at the club on loan last season - is expected to start alongside Adams.

Ings, of course, used to play for Burnley.

Deadline day recruit Kevin Danso is unavailable for Southampton’s Burnley trip.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche is already having to contend with a series of injuries.

Irish winger Robbie Brady is unavailable with a rib injury, while Belgian playmaker Steven Defour is out with a calf strain.

Burnley’s new signings Erik Pieters and former Saints man Jay Rodriguez are expected to start, though Danny Drinkwater - signed on loan from Chelsea - is unlikely to feature.
