Crystal Palace vs Southampton LIVE: Premier League latest score ... (The Independent)

Patrick Vieira made just one change from the Crystal Palace side that faced Everton, with Jeffrey Schlupp coming in for Jordan Ayew as they hosted Southampton.

It's a heavy challenge by Hughes on Djenepo, but he doesn't stop the Southampton attack. Palace are dropping deeper in their own half as they attempt to see out the win. He gets distance on it and the pressure is off Palace for a moment. Ward-Prowse was tripped that time and Bazunu takes it, but it's comfortably cleared by Mitchell. Southampton pushed for an equaliser in the second half and Adams had two great chances saved by Guaita before Armstrong came closest when he struck the base of the post. Crystal Palace vs Southampton Guehi stands tall though and stops him from picking out a cross. Palace hold on to see out a 1-0 win over Southampton. The hosts dominated the first half and Edouard saw a goal disallowed for offside before he scored what turned out to be the winner in the 38th minute.

Live: Palace v Southampton – Palace take lead through Edouard (Crystal Palace)

Crystal Palace are facing Southampton at Selhurst Park today, with the score currently at 1-0 after Odsonne Edouard bagged in the 38th-minute.

But that changes after today, with Crystal Palace not running out in SE25 again until Boxing Day. They will come with confidence because of the way they performed against Arsenal. We know the team we are going to face and I always say it, every game brings challenges and we have to be ready. “Look at players we got last year like Marc [Guéhi], Michael [Olise], Malcolm [Ebiowei]. “For young players coming from Under-21s or even the Championship, they will find that the Premier League is at a different level,” he said. Patrick Vieira explained why Cheick Doucouré is missing from the squad pre-match, saying: “He is just feeling a little bit of an injury. “It’s a hard game. Special occasions.— Crystal Palace F.C. In the montage, players Nicol, Kirsten Reilly, Jack Butland, Tyrick Mitchell, Kaden Rodney, and staff Will Rose and Jamie Broughton express their support for the Rainbow Laces campaign. Jeffrey Schlupp does brilliantly to carry the ball forward and find Milivojević in space on the edge of the box. Olise and Edouard have another go, but this time Eddy is charged out by Duje Ćaleta-Car. The south Londoners are rather sat back now, with three relatively defensive changes tweaking their shape.

Crystal Palace 1 Southampton 0: Odsonne Edouard strike moves ... (The Sun)

CRYSTAL PALACE celebrated their best home run for more than four years – thanks to Mr Invincible Arsene Wenger.Odsonne Edouard's first-half tap-in.

The first was from Adams, whose first touch had let him down, and then a near-post block to deny Stuart Armstrong. Elyounoussi certainly felt he had been denied a penalty when the ball deflected on to the arm of Marc Guehi from his attempt. Southampton were a different side in the second half and improved significantly – they had a glut of chances to level up and should have done so. The first time the Brazilian went through the back of the Palace playmaker, he conceded a foul. Palace boss Patrick Vieira – himself an acolyte of Wenger at the Gunners – took along a few of his fellow compatriots to the prestigious function last Tuesday. And the French forward was boosted by a chat, a quiz and some table football with retired Arsenal boss Wenger at the French Embassy in London.
