Southampton desperately need a win to climb off the foot of the Premier League table when they host a Crystal Palace side that has started to pull clear towards safety.

Saints are four points behind Everton in 17th with eight games to go, and a 4-1 defeat to Manchester City last weekend extended their winless run to five matches.

Palace were tumbling towards the drop zone until Roy Hodgson’s surprise return; the veteran boss has led the Eagles to back-to-back wins, including a handbrake-off 5-1 win at Leeds last time out.

This is the third meeting of the season between the sides; Palace won 1-0 at Selhurst Park in the Premier League in October, but Saints gained some revenge with a 2-1 away win in the FA Cup third round in January.

Kick-off is at 3.00pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:

ExpressVPN
