Match Preview:

Crystal Palace and Southampton will meet on Saturday afternoon and both clubs will feel that there could be 3 points on offer. For Palace they started the Premier League campaign so well with a solid 2-0 win away to Fulham but that result has been followed with 2 straight defeats. First at home to Liverpool a result that could have been expected but then there was a 2-1 loss away to Watford. It’s time for Roy Hodgson’s men to dust themselves down as they return home.

Palace will fancy their chances against a Southampton side that have failed to win this season and have picked up just 1 point from the 9 available. The worrying signs for the Saints is that they have not played any of the so called big four teams and yet are still not picking up points, this culminated in losing at home to a Leicester side that did not feature striker Jamie Vardy. Confidence seems low within the team at this early stage of the season.
