How both teams go into Southampton vs Crystal Palace
Southampton are on the cusp of relegation, and their focus across the final gameweeks will be to avoid going down in Premier League infamy. Right now, that dishonour belongs to Derby, who in the 2007-08 season finished the campaign with the lowest points tally ever seen in the league (11) and a -69 goal difference. They won only one game. Southampton have already won one more game, and their goal difference (-49) isn’t too far away; plus, they need three more points to avoid taking over from the Rams. Since registering a 1-2 win at fellow promoted side Ipswich in early February, they have lost five straight, and they are currently on a nine-game losing streak at home.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are climbing up the Premier League table after their slow start. The Eagles find themselves sitting in 12th place but not too far away from a top-10 finish; they are five points behind Bournemouth, who currently occupies 10th place. Oliver Glasner’s side have won their last three straight and four of their previous five Premier League outings. They are also on a four-game winning streak on the road.
Southampton team news
Jan Bednarek, William Smallbone, and James Bree could return following their respective injuries, although the latter two are unlikely to feature. Ross Stewart and Juan Larios, meanwhile, are currently being assessed, with no return date. Taylor Harwood-Bellis is currently rated at 50/50.
Crystal Palace team news
Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucouré will not be available for Crystal Palace until next season, with both sidelined by knee injuries. Will Hughes returns from suspension but is struggling with illness. There is no return date for Joel Ward, who is dealing with a calf strain.
Southampton vs Crystal Palace head-to-head
Southampton have won just one of their previous six meetings with Crystal Palace, although that success came in the 2022/23 FA Cup season. This means they have failed to win any of their last five Premier League matches (four losses and one draw).
