Follow live coverage as Crystal Palace face Southampton today in the Premier League.

Oliver Glasner’s team started this Premier League campaign terribly, which has halted their progression throughout the season. They have still only won three matches this season, and their eight draws keep them just outside of the relegation zone. They will see this game as a huge chance to pick up another vital three points, as the teams below them have begun to find some form.

Ivan Juric took charge of his first game as Southampton boss when his new side lost 1-0 to West Ham in the week. Southampton are still at the bottom of the Premier League with only one win under their belts, and as the turn of the year moves ever closer, the need for three points increases. They will be in for a tough game against Palace, but this is more than a winnable game.

What a response that is from Palace to going behind. They were putting on immense pressure in the lead-up to the goal, and Southampton will have felt that it was coming.

The goal is given, and the onfield decision of no foul stands. 1-1!

A part of Mateta’s game that he has massively improved upon is his hold-up play. Playing as a lone striker would have helped with this improvement, but he is now looking like a top player.

Palace are finding their rhythm once again, and the home crowd are really getting behind their team. Southampton have begun to commit silly fouls, which is riling up the supporters.

SAVED! Lerma sent an absolute rocket towards Ramsdale after some nice linkup play with Sarr. The shot was well hit, but it was straight at the Southampton goalkeeper, and he parried it away.

Sarr had a great chance to bring the ball forward as he ran towards the edge of the box. It looked like he got caught in two minds and then got the ball stuck under his feet.

The game has gone into a rather calm state, as both sides are knocking the ball around when they have it. This will favour Southampton.

Southampton haven’t gone as defensive as expected after that opener. They are still trying to get the ball forward when they can, and they are keeping Palace at bay so far.
