Crystal Palace v Southampton: match preview

Michy Batshuayi returns to Crystal Palace on loan to hopefully bring goals to an attack that scored a second-worst total of 31 in the league last season. Ralph Hasenhüttl will hope Danny Ings continues the red-hot form for Southampton that almost stole the golden boot away from Jamie Vardy. Ings may produce exactly that as he comes up against a severely depleted Palace defence. Graham Searles
