Palace's form has improved since late October under Oliver Glasner, losing just two in 10, but the Eagles are still only three points above the relegation zone. A league-high eight draws this season are the reason for the south east Londoners' travails, but Ismaila Sarr has stepped up recently to help Ebere Eze in the creative department. A Boxing Day goalless draw against high-flying Bournemouth should help confidence.

Southampton, meanwhile, continue to struggle. New manager Ivan Juric took charge of his first game on Thursday but was unable to prevent the Saints from falling to a 14th defeat in their 18 Premier League games so far this season. That 1-0 defeat to West Ham was a sixth reverse in their last eight league games and something will have to change soon if they are to survive. Having fit-again goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale available for the remainder of the campaign is vital.

Unfortunately, there will be no Crystal Palace vs Southampton live stream in the U.K. as this is a match originally scheduled for a 3 p.m. Saturday kick-off (delayed to Sunday at 3 p.m. because of the Boxing Day round of fixtures) and they're blacked out from coverage to protect attendances elsewhere in the football pyramid.

U.S. fans visiting the U.K. can use one of the best VPN services to access their usual streaming service from abroad. We recommend NordVPN.

This season, live Premier League rights are split three ways in the U.K. between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video.
