Crystal Palace and Southampton are scheduled to meet at Selhurst Park stadium in London on Sunday, 29 December. This game, which will take place at the home base of the Eagles, will be part of the match day 19 and the first time for the teams to play against each other in the Premier League 2024-25 season. For both teams, this season hasn’t been a particularly favourable one.
The Eagles will play the game with their new head coach Oliver Glasner who signed the contract with the club on 19 February this year.
The Saints sacked their manager Russell Martin in the middle of the season after a home game with Tottenham Hotspur ended in a 0 – 5 disaster. They are currently led by an interim head coach Simon Rusk.
