Roy Hodgson marks his return the management in Saturday afternoon's early kick-off as his Crystal Palace side host Southampton.
Palace sacked former boss Frank de Boer after losing their first four matches this season and are still yet to score in the Premier League.
Saints, who have enjoyed a mixed start, with one win, two draws and a defeat, welcome Virgil van Dijk back to the squad for the first time since he handed in a transfer request.

75 mins: Shane Long is the first Southampton player to go into referee Madley's notebook. The Irish forward is booked for complaining to the official after he wasn't awarded a free-kick having been clattered by Joel Ward.
76 mins: There's a scattering of boos inside Selhurst Park as Ruben Loftus-Cheek's number is held aloft by the fourth official. The midfielder - declared fit after missing the last game - has been Palace's best player today but has been withdrawn to make way for Bakary Sako. The home fans are not happy with that decision.
79 mins: Crystal Palace have now set a new record for a Premier League club. This is the longest any team has gone without scoring a goal at the start of the new season.
To be honest, it now looks as though it's a run that they will be unlikely to break in the next 11 minutes plus.
82 mins: Palace's number six becomes Palace's number five. Centre-back Scott Dann is the fifth home player to be cautioned. I suppose it could be argued that this demonstrates that they are showing more commitment. At least, that's what they can tell the FA when they're called upon to explain their disciplinary issues.
87 mins: There are more boos and now I don't know where they're coming from. They seem to be reserved for the introduction of Virgil van Dijk, but the accompanying shots of the visiting section shows Southampton fans warmly applauding their wantaway defender on to the park.
90 mins: The Southampton fans break into song as the clock strikes 90 minutes. They feel this game is won, but they're giving something of a scare by the fourth official, who signals that there will be a minimum of five minutes stoppage time to be played.
Mauricio Pellegrino moves to eat up some of those 300 seconds by introducing Manolo Gabbiadini.
90+4 mins: The game looks up for Palace as Joel Ward blasts a shot towards Tesco's carpark. Another miserable afternoon for Eagles fans is nearly over.
