Saturday’s Premier League action kicks off at Selhurst Park where Roy Hodgson’s reign as Crystal Palace manager begins with a game against Southampton.

The Eagles sit rock bottom of the table having lost their opening four games whilst failing to score a single goal – form that saw Frank De Boer dismissed after just seventy-seven days in charge.

No team have ever lost their first five matches without scoring in the top division in England while the hosts will need to score before the seventy-eighth minute to avoid securing an unwanted record of the most minutes into a new Premier League season without hitting the back of the net.

Reuben Loftus-Cheek and James Tomkins could feature after recovering from minor setbacks though Mamadou Sakho will have to keep waiting for his second Palace debut despite playing forty-five minutes in a development game on Monday.

Christian Benteke can be backed at 6.0 (5/1) to get the first goal of the game with Bet 365 ahead of 15.0 (14/1) chance Yohan Cabaye.

The home win is widely available at 3.0 (2/1) with the visitors favourites at 2.55 (17/11) with Ladbrokes. The draw can be backed at 3.3 (23/10) with a variety of firms.

The Saints lost for the first time this season last time out with Watford condemning them to a 2-0 defeat at St Mary’s.

Claude Puel must decide whether to recall Virgil van Dijk who could play for the first time this season while Pierre- Emile Hojbjerg is available following the birth of his daughter.

Charile Austin is priced at 5.0 (4/1) to open the scoring with Bet 365, with Manolo Gabbiadini a 6.0 (5/1) chance with the same firm.

Both of last season’s meetings between the sides ended in comfortable victories for the hosts with Benteke scoring in both fixtures.

The Belgium international is 2.85 (24/13) with Unibet to net at any time in the game while a home win with over 2.5 goals in the game can be backed at 5.25 (17/4) with Sporting Bet.

Alternatively you can bet on both teams to score at even money with a variety of bookmakers.
