Filip Djuricic and Eljero Elia were drafted in by Ronald Koeman as Southampton looked to get back to winning ways against Crystal Palace.

The on-loan duo replaced Florin Gardos and Dusan Tadic in the starting line-up at St Mary's, where Toby Alderweireld was on the bench following a hamstring problem.

Southampton: Forster, Clyne, Fonte, Yoshida, Bertrand, Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Elia, Djuricic, Mane, Pelle.

Subs: Kelvin Davis, Gardos, Long, Steven Davis, Tadic, Ward-Prowse, Alderweireld.

Subs: Mariappa, Hangeland, Hennessey, Ameobi, Boateng, Gray, Souare.
