Southampton v Crystal Palace

Both sides will be looking for a return to form when Southampton play host to Crystal Palace in the third round of the FA Cup at St Mary's on Saturday.

The Saints have lost four of their last five league outings, surprisingly beating Arsenal 4-0 on Boxing Day during that worrying run of results.

Their form sees them sit down in 13th position in the league standings after 20 games and come into the game off the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Norwich on Sunday.

Graziano Pelle and Fraser Forster (both knee) are both unlikely to feature, while Cedric Soares and Juanmi are both fit.

Victor Wanyama, though, starts his two-match suspension following his sending off against the Canaries.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, are winless in their last three games and come into this FA Cup tie off the back of a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea.

Despite the drop in form over the festive period, the Eagles are still flying high in seventh in the Premier League standings.

Manager Alan Pardew could welcome Bakary Sako back from a hamstring injury, having been sidelined since November.

Yohan Cabaye is also available again after serving a one-match ban, but Yannick Bolasie (hip/thigh) and Kwesi Appiah (knee) remain out.

The game also comes a bit too soon for Connor Wickham (calf) and Dwight Gayle (hamstring), who are expected to be fit for Tuesday's league clash against Aston Villa.
