Of teams they’ve faced at least 10 times in the Premier League, against no side have Southampton won a higher share of their matches in the competition than they have against Crystal Palace (58 per cent, with 14 wins out of 24).

Southampton haven’t won any of their last 24 Premier League away contests played on Wednesdays (D8 L16), with their last such victory coming at Chelsea in April 1995 (2-0).

Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke has scored six goals in his last nine Premier League outings against Southampton. Only against Chelsea and Sunderland (seven each) has he scored more in the competition.

Palace have only lost one of their eight Premier League home matches this season (W3 D4). Only Liverpool have lost fewer on home soil in the competition this term (none). Palace are now looking to win back-to-back league encounters at Selhurst Park for the first time since March 2020.
