The last few seasons have perhaps been some of the best in club history for Southampton. However, it seems with every passing campaign, players and managers leave and another rebuilding effort commences.This season, that rebuild has fallen at the feet of manager Claude Puel, who took over when Ronald Koeman departed for the greener pastures of Everton. Through the opening two-plus months of the season Puel has done a fine job on the south coast.The Saints (2-3-2) will aim to extend their unbeaten run in league play to three matches when they welcome Burnley to St. Marys Stadium on Sunday.After starting the campaign winless in their first four matches, the Saints picked up their form with a pair of victories against Swansea City and West Ham United. They have not conceded a goal in their last three matches, including a scoreless draw against defending champions Leicester City prior to the international hiatus.Both sides had plenty of chances but were ultimately unable to find the back of the net, which forced the clubs to share the spoils.Puel was keen to praise the efforts of midfielder Oriol Romeu in keeping the ball out of the net. The Spanish midfielder won five of six tackles against Leicester to go with three interceptions, two blocks and one clearance.He doesnt play well just in this game, the manager said. Since the beginning of the season we have seen good play from him for the defence. In every match, he can play a fantastic game because his quality is that of an excellent player.He can recover the ball and thats very important for us, because he gives a structure for the team. Hes very interesting with the ball and without the ball in front of the defence.Burnley (2-1-4) come into this clash in 14th place. Theyll be hoping for a result Sunday to move them further away from the dreaded drop zone despite it still be early in the season.Sean Dyches charges have been nothing if not somewhat inconsistent this season. In their two wins the defence has been impenetrable, but theyve been unable to maintain that form in defeats to Swansea City, Chelsea, Leicester City and Arsenal. Most recently, the Clarets played well and put in an excellent shift in the defensive third, though it wasnt enough to earn a point in the 1-0 loss to the Gunners.Despite things not going their way, Dyche was quick to praise his teams defensive efforts against a powerful opponent.We had some really good chances, he said. Weve hit the bar and made their keeper work and then, on the other side of things, when you have to defend, I felt we did that very well.The organisation and belief is a big thing in this team and that was absolutely on show. The defeat doesnt take the gloss off completely though because its a long season and we are improving.These sides last met on March 21, 2015, with Southampton taking a 2-0 victory over Burnley at St. Marys courtesy of a 37th-minute strike from Shane Long and 58th-minute own goal.

LAHAINA, Hawaii -- ??? Jalen Adams drove fearlessly to the rim, dished to open teammates, soared in over taller players to snatch rebounds.The sophomore guard nearly had a triple-double and the Huskies needed nearly every bit of it to hold off a feisty upset-maker.Adams had 25 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds, helping Connecticut survive for a 93-82 victory over Division II Chaminade Tuesday in the Maui Invitational.He did a great job leading our team, UConn coach Kevin Ollie said. He did an unbelievable job finding his teammates, scoring and then when we needed a rebound, he got it.UConn (2-3) had all kinds of trouble with Oklahoma States pressing defense to open the Maui Invitational, turning it over 18 times -- all on Cowboys steals -- in a 98-90 loss.On Day 2, the Huskies had a hard time shaking the deep-shooting Silverswords (2-2), who have had a penchant for knocking off big-name opponents.UConn shot 61 percent and had a 20-point advantage in the paint and 13 more rebounds, yet werent able to pull away from Chaminade until the closing minutes.Rodney Purvis had 23 points and hit three 3-pointers in the final 4 minutes after going hard to the floor.Vance Jackson added 16 for UConn, which was without forward Terry Larrier after he injured his left knee against Oklahoma State in the tournament opener.Everybody was just hungry and wanted to get back and prove we can win and compete in this tournament, said Adams, who made 12 of 17 shots. We definitely didnt come down here to lose.Chaminade has a certain mystique around it in Maui, thanks to a long list of upset victories.The Silverswords were blown out by No. 4 North Carolina in their Maui opener, but used their perimeter shooting to stretch the Huskies on defense and keep them from pulling away.Rohndell Goodwin had 20 points, Sam Daly and Kiran Shastri had 19 each for Chamminade, which made 14 of 32 from 3-point range.ddddddddddddWe were feeling it for a while today, Shastri said.The Silverswords hit 6 of 10 shots to lead 18-13 and, unlike the night, pushed back when a bigger team tried to lean on them.Chaminade trailed by seven, but tied the game at 39-all late in the first half on a layup by Austin Pope and Goodwins short jumper after a turnover on the inbound play.The Silverswords hit 9 of 17 from 3-point range in the first half and were tied with the Huskies at 45-all.Adams carried UConn in the opening 20 minutes with 15 points, eight assists and six rebounds.The Silverswords continued to go right at the Huskies in the second half, dropping in long-range 3-pointers and driving fearlessly to the rim to stay within 61-60 midway through.UConn finally started to gain some separation as the Silverswords started missing shots they had been making all day.The Huskies stretched their lead to 80-71 on Purvis corner 3-pointer with 5? minutes left and added three more to close the Silverswords out.Those late 3-pointers were the difference in the game, Chaminade coach Eric Bovaird said.BIG PICTUREUConn: The Huskies survived the big upset, yet not being able to shake a Division II opponent is not a good sign. Adams has been stellar in Maui, but the Huskies will need more than just him for the fifth-place game and beyond.Chaminade: The Silverswords have had their share of upsets in the Maui Invitational and nearly pulled off another. Keeping up with a big-time program like UConn should do nothing but build confidence for the Silverswords the rest of the season.UP NEXTUConn: Faces No. 13 Oregon in the fifth-place game.Chaminade: Plays in the seventh-place game against Tennessee.
