While both teams might be considered to lack depth, the home side look rejuvenated, with their emphatic win against Chelsea away at Stamford Bridge in the boxing day premier league fixture showcasing their hunger to stay up in the Premier League.

Since this is their last premier league fixture of the year, they will be buoyed to maintain their in form momentum, aiming to stay afloat. Danny Ings is set to return in the starting eleven, and it will boost the saints as they aim to clinch all three points in front of their home fans at the Saint Mary's Stadium.

While their home form has not been convincing in this campaign(W2,D3 L5), the Saints know that they have to up their game and continue with their fine form if they are to salvage something from this fixture. A win will move them middle of the pack.

Roy Hodson's Crystal Palace outfit have been registering mixed results this season, and while they might consider themselves sitting pretty in the league, they registered a much needed win during the Boxing Day fixture, overcoming West Ham at home 2-1. Be that as it may, they have only lost once in their last six premier league fixtures, and the Eagles' recent away form will act as a motivation, having registered back to back away wins. In this fixture, we expect them to use their great setup on the counter to full effect as they have showcased previously in this campaign.

Both Camps are high on confidence as they both were able to register wins in their previous fixtures. The home team look most likely to make the most out of this fixture, although they know a little complacency will see them being outwitted by Crystal Palace, who look to scalp points, considering they have been in form too.
