Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino has played down the importance of beating Burnley ahead of a daunting run of Premier League fixtures.
Saints have managed a steady start to the season under the Argentine and are currently 10th in the table having taken 13 points from their opening 10 games.
After hosting the Clarets on Saturday, their 10 remaining matches of 2017 include trips to Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United, as well as home games against Everton and Arsenal.
However, coach Pellegrino does not believe the tricky forthcoming challenges add any extra pressure to take three points at St Mary's this weekend.
