Southampton are seeking to win their third consecutive Premier League match for the first time since 2015/16, while Crystal Palace are looking for their first win in three.
Team news
Southampton full-back Matt Targett (knee) should be available to play, although the match may come too soon for Ryan Bertand.
Charlie Austin (ankle), Kayne Ramsay (illness) and Mario Lemina (stomach) are all doubts.
Palace have all of their goalkeepers fit again after Vicente Guaita and Wayne Hennessey recovered from respective calf and thigh injuries.
Roy Hodgson can also call upon strikers Connor Wickham and Christian Benteke (both knee) after lengthy spells on the sidelines, but Pape Souare (shoulder) is out.
