Armando Broja is likely to start again up front, with Che Adams the man who could come in to partner him in attack, if Hasenhuttl decides to go back to a 4-2-2-2. In midfield, he is likely to continue with Oriol Romeu and James Ward-Prowse, with Mohamed Elyounoussi and Stuart Armstrong as the two more advanced midfielders in Hasenhuttl's preferred 4-2-2-2 system. It is a different story for Southampton, with Hasenhuttl having an almost fully-fit squad to choose from for the game.

Sean Dyche has paid tribute to the Burnley supporters and the people he worked with during his nine and a half years in charge at Turf Moor.

“The town has become a huge part of my life. “I would like to thank the people of Burnley and fans of the club for their incredible kindness and support,” he said. The former Clarets boss issued a statement thanking everyone for the “truly incredible times, which are never to be forgotten” and said he was “looking forward to the next phase” of his career.

They are currently sat in 18th place, four points from safety and probably still wishing Leicester could have defended a bit better in injury time last night.

Saints boss Ralph Hasenhuttl talks to Sky. “It is very tight in the middle of the table and with a few wins you can achieve a lot. 8 min: Taylor plays a blind backpass down the Saints right, allowing Broja to tear off down the flank. McNeil swans in from the right and aims a curler towards the top left. He wins a header ten yards out - this is uncontested, too - and aims for the top right. Rodriguez finds a bit of space down the middle and slips a pass down the inside-right channel for Weghorst, who strides into the box. 7 min: Walker-Peters ambles in from the right, unchallenged until he reaches the edge of the box. 21 min: McNeil drops a shoulder to get past Lyanco down the right. 22 min: Brownhill finds Weghorst on the edge of the Saints D with a cute pass from the right. Taylor bustles down the left and wins a Burnley corner. 35 min: Brownhill tries to release Weghorst into the box with a wedge down the inside right. The ball balloons to Weghorst, who must score, a couple of yards out. A bobbled effort twangs out for a corner ... but then the flag goes up belatedly for offside.

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."

The Lancashire club host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday and a win -- or even a draw -- would move them above Everton and out of the bottom three before Lampard's side face Liverpool in the Merseryside derby at Anfield later that day. Burnley, with their Under-23 coach Mike Jackson and injured club captain Ben Mee in temporary charge of the team, were playing with a level of creativity and verve that they had struggled to find under Dyche this season. Burnley piled the pressure back on Everton in the Premier League relegation battle with a 2-0 win over Southampton on Thursday, moving them within a point of Frank Lampard's side.

Burnley surprises and beats Southampton two goals to zero, who failed to come dangerously close to the rival goal.

"They know soccer and I'm sure they are with the group. That's the identity of this group, and they've shown that they're willing to fight." "When you look at the game and take the emotions out of it, you look at what happened in the game itself and I think they showed some real qualities."

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.

Burnley moved to within a point of Everton after Connor Roberts and Nathan Collins sealed a 2-0 victory against Southampton.

In the final moments there were chants from the stands of “There’s only one Sean Dyche” for their departed manager. The opener ignited an aggression inside Burnley who saw their opportunity to attack a Southampton side lacking thrust. Space was given to a man whose most recent club goal came almost a year ago, allowing him to move the ball on to his left foot and perfectly curl a shot round Fraser Forster into the corner to make everyone inside Turf Moor forget their troubles. The resulting James Ward-Prowse corner was attacked by an unmarked Oriol Romeu, who headed wide from six yards to provide a much-needed wake-up to Burnley. The victory leaves them one point behind Everton and safety having played a game more, but with a marginally better goal difference. Southampton could not cope with the liberated hosts, who gave themselves hope once again of beating the drop.

The Clarets won 2-0 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.

Burnley played with a freedom unseen at Turf Moor in the last nine-and-a-half years under former manager Sean Dyche.

“We were lacking in everything after the first 15 minutes,” said Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. “At half-time I could have changed 10 players. Southampton have little to play for this season aside from the one or two places up the table that will get them more prize-money. Brownhill provided another assist, this time with a corner, and Collins versus James Ward-Prowse was a mismatch in the six-yard area. “At the moment we are looking to the next game, little plans are in place for that,” he said. For the first time, The Royal Dyche pub was serving pre-match pints without the man who took them to the Premier League in the dug-out over the road. “I think it’s something that comes with confidence,” said Jackson. “From the West Ham game, then starting well in this game.

Burnley's caretaker manager Mike Jackson has warned his side has what it takes to survive the drop and maintain their Premier League status.

Again, they've gone and delivered that, we're just there to help them. Everton are locked in a relegation fight and Burnley now sit just one point behind them in the table following their 2-0 win over Southampton on Thursday night. The relegation fight, though, is closer than ever and things don't get any easier for Everton with a trip to Anfield on the horizon.

Its starting to get very tight towards the bottom of the Premier League table again, and that might make for a fascinating relegation run-in.

Burnley play before Everton each week too, meaning they have a chance to really crank up the pressure even more. They have three very tough fixtures to come, followed by three that look quite kind on paper. With a Merseyside Derby to prepare for against Liverpool at Anfield, the last thing Everton will have wanted to see was Burnley closing the gap between them to just one point. Leeds are in good form right now with three wins and a draw in their last four matches, but if they lose at Crystal Palace on Monday things might start to look a lot more nervy. From here you'd have to say that Villa can only be architects of their own downfall. The situation: Aston Villa should be feeling pretty safe right now.

Dyche left the Clarets last week after nine and a half years in charge at Turf Moor.

"It is undeniable the affection that Sean and his team are held in by supporters and I recognise and understand this. On behalf of everybody at the club we wish him a successful and speedy recovery. "However, there can be no denying that it has been a difficult season on the pitch and results and performances have been disappointing. I also want to extend my best wishes to Ashley Westwood following his ankle injury and thank both our own and West Ham’s medical teams that responded so quickly to the incident. Firstly, Sean and his coaching staff are all fantastic men and true professionals, respected by myself and throughout the club and community and I honestly wish them all the very best for the future. The Clarets axed Dyche last week after nine and a half years with the club in the bottom three of the Premier League having won just four games all season.

A lot of the boys just wanted to get out there tonight and play with a smile on their face, play with a little bit of freedom. We have a task on hand and we have to prepare again and just look at the next game. “We played some nice stuff and I think we were well worth the win. It doesn’t matter who’s there backing us, we have to back each other and the togetherness showed that tonight. I can’t affect Everton to lose or anybody else to lose so we have to concentrate on ourselves really. You can hear it in the fans, you can hear it in the stands.

And he is pleased with how the players have responded to a new voice in the dressing room: "Regarding what the players have shown, I think you saw that the other day in the game, I actually said to them on Tuesday I don't think I gave them the credit they deserved. "For me, my sole focus is on this game, I've been asked to prepare the team, and if I'm asked again on Sunday, I'll go through the same process." "This group is not a young group, it's experienced, they know what they have to do, they're fighting, they're ready.

After nine-and-a-half years you'd have been forgiven for thinking the first game at Turf Moor without Sean Dyche would have a tinge of awkwardness about it.

Turf Moor never got to say goodbye to Dyche, and even though he wasn’t there to see it or to hear his name sung in the stands, this was the fan’s way of saying thank you. Turf Moor erupted in a sea of noise as Roberts jogged gleefully to the fans. At full time the crowd was on its feet and the singing reverberated around the concourse as fans headed home with a renewed feeling of pride.

He said: "I hear it all the time if a manager leaves, people say you've done this or that. Consistency is the key now, maintaining this level of performance over the final six games, and maybe the decision to dismiss Dyche will make a hell of a lot more sense than it did initially. It may only be two games, but rather than search for a manager to see out the season, before looking at a permanent appointment in the summer, it appears to make more sense to hand the post to Jackson for the rest of the campaign. It is an experienced group, renowned for being self-policing in terms of the culture of the club and what is required on and off the pitch. There is much to be said for that, but credit where it’s due, someone has to coax that back out of a group who have struggled for most of the season. The culture is what has underpinned the club’s success during Dyche’s decade in charge, but there was certainly scope to tweak tactics and get more out of players.

The help of so many people has made it happen and I thank them all, particularly my football staff who have worked so diligently over the years. “I would also like to thank the directors and owners who I have worked with for their help over the past decade. The Clarets sacked Dyche on Good Friday after a decade in charge at Turf Moor and with Burnley in danger of suffering relegation down to the Championship after six years in England’s top flight.

Burnley have taken four points from two games under interim boss Mike Jackson.

Together with Charlie Taylor and Connor Roberts they helped keep a clean sheet for just the second time in 10 games. His talent has never been questioned and if he can continue the performances of Thursday night then he can have a big say on Burnley's Premier League future. The last seven days have been a rollercoaster of emotions but what it does seem to have done is unite players and supporters in the common goal of survival, rather than anything more. He'd been left out a few times under Dyche and seemed to be playing with a fear. Burnley managed to maintain their work ethic after the break and it set the tone for a vital victory. After a shaky first few minutes where passes went astray and Southampton could have led had Oriol Romeu put away his free header, Burnley settled into the contest and didn't let up.

Burnley are still on the search for a new manager after Sean Dyche was sacked a week ago, with bookies' favourite Chris Wilder now distancing himself from ...

We're in tomorrow for a recovery day and a work day for the lads who didn't play. We're just happy to be helping the club and helping the players perform.” Those comments from Wilder have led to further uncertainty over who will take charge at Turf Moor, both in the long term and the short term. However, he is unsure as to whether or not he will still be in temporary charge for Sunday’s meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers. Under-23s coach Mike Jackson has taken charge of the last two matches since Sean Dyche was sacked, picking up four points out of six following a 1-1 draw with West Ham United on Sunday.
