Crystal Palace face a trip to Southampton at St. Marys at lunchtime on Tuesday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Eagles will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 20 and win only 5 of the 31 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
