Only Saints can scupper dream

Burnley are in pole position to qualify for the Europa League, their first European appearance since 1966-67. Seventh place will make it — providing that Southampton do not win the FA Cup. After Manchester City’s League Cup victory, the qualification bar drops to sixth place. And with Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham — all above Burnley — still in the FA Cup, only the Saints can stop Dyche’s Euro dream.
