I think two of their strongest faults at the moment is seeming to have no leadership, to my knowledge they still have no new manager and secondly that they have conceded a lot of goals on the road - 28 to be precise which is joint 2nd highest amount.

I think that Neil Warnock's boys will have too much for Southampton and this will be a comfortable victory, maybe to the scoreline of 2-0.
Totally agree with you on Palace. Warnocks been a revelation since he took over. They did lose their last match 1-0 to Leceister but all good runs come to an end at some point.

Managerless Saints form is totally inconsistant. Just 1 win in their last 8 and they've just sent 1 of their top strikers Rasiak on loan to Bolton which I just can't way up. It seems there content in finishing midtable when really they should be pushing for a playoff spot.
