Crystal Palace bounced back with a 3-1 win over Everton in their last game and will be looking to build on it when they host Southampton. Palace are up to 12th with 19 points while Southampton are 16th with 16 points going to this game. Palace had failed to score in the two matches ahead of the win. Over Everton and three straight losses were causing jitters. Going to this game they will be more confident, especially given they will be playing at home. They have scored seven goals in their last five matches and at home, they have lost just once this season. They have three wins in eight home matches this season.

Southampton have no win in their last five matches. They have three losses and ahead of this one, they’ve conceded two or more goals in four of the last five. They have a number of key players injured or suspended and had to call on Willy Caballero as an emergency goalkeeper. They are coming from a 3-0 loss at Arsenal and in Palace’s form, this doesn’t promise to be an easy walk for the Saints. Their away run isn’t much better either; though they have one win in the last five, they go to this game with three straight away losses and have failed to score in the last two. In the last three away matches, Southampton have conceded nine goals.
