Puel thanks St Mary’s groundsmen after Arter miss
Show/hide article…
CLAUDE Puel jokingly thanked the Saints groundsmen for their good work after a second “lucky” penalty miss for an opposition at St Mary’s this term, in which they’ve slipped on the turf at the Northam End.
Harry Kane of Tottenham skied a spot kick back in December in the very same place Harry Arter booted another penalty miles over for AFC Bournemouth on Saturday.
On both occasions the turf by the penalty mark has become unstable, with both Kane and Arter’s standing foot slipping on the surface.
When asked if he’d patted his grounds staff on the back, Puel joked: "Yes, of course, I am happy with the groundsmen … I am happy with them two times now! It’s a good thing.
"We are, of course, lucky with this situation with these penalties because the pitch, it’s fantastic, and the work of groundsmen is fantastic.
“I wanted to say to them thank you very much … not just for the penalty though!”
“Perhaps the next time we go to have a penalty for us, it’s the same, it’s a problem,” he added, smiling. “It was a good situation for us, of course, but for the future this will unlikely happen again.”
In his press conference, ahead of the Crystal Palace match at home tomorrow night, the St Mary’s chief was also asked about whether or not he was satisfied with his first season as Saints boss.
He replied: "I don’t know…it is difficult to say, if it’s a good or not a good season. We must see how many points we can win, we will see this at the end.
"Of course we can do better with some games and some competitions but it’s interesting season because all of the players can learn from a difficult schedule.
"They played every three days since the beginning of the season and now they play one game every two weeks, we learn and I think perhaps all of the results are not good for the moment but we stay with a capacity to play good football, for me, it’s always important.
“I’m sure you can continue to improve of course and we see with Nathan Redmond and James (Ward-Prowse) in the national team its good for them but its important to develop all of the players.”

Puel urges Saints to be careful
Show/hide article…
CLAUDE Puel has urged Saints not to become complacent over their position in the Premier League.
Saints remain seven points clear of the relegation zone with ten games to play but, despite the buffer, Puel is keen for his team to avoid switching off as the season reaches its final stretch.
“It’s important to stay careful about this,” he said. "Of course, this championship is very difficult and we’ve seen all these teams in difficulties go up, move up and come back.
“It’s a strong league and difficult to keep a good position on the table and when we see the table, the gap between six, seven, eight teams is very short with the number of points. This is why it’s important to stay careful about this.”
After a long season so far, which has already seen Saints play 43 games, including the EFL Cup final and a Europa League group stage campaign, this term is reaching its conclusion with Puel’s men vying for a top ten finish.
And the St Mary’s chief wants his side to stay focused as they head into what could be a decisive game for their ambitions this term against Crystal Palace at home tomorrow night.
“I think it is important to stay with a good concentration,” Puel said. "We have a seven-point advantage and its important to keep improving.
"We have two games in hand (against Manchester United and Arsenal) also its not the reality and its important to have a good result, we play at home, its important to find the good clinical against this team, we know its difficult challenge and we like this challenge.
"All of my players are ready to make a good game against this team and of course we aware of what is behind us, but after we can see forward.
"For the moment its important we take points because one win or one lost can make a difference in the table.
“All of the teams are together like Bournemouth, Palace and West Brom in front of us.”

Stat Pack: Saints vs Crystal Palace
Show/hide article…
Saints have lost just one of their last 13 home league meetings with Crystal Palace (W9 D3), winning the last five in a row.
After failing to win any of their first 12 Premier League games against Southampton, the Eagles have won two of their last three against them, though both wins have come at Selhurst Park.
Sam Allardyce has never lost a Premier League game at St Mary’s Stadium, though six of his eight visits there have ended level (W2).
Southampton haven’t lost both league games in a season against Crystal Palace since 1990-91, when the Eagles finished third in the old First Division.
Of teams Southampton have faced 10+ times in the Premier League, their joint-highest win % is against Crystal Palace (60%, level with Swansea).
Crystal Palace have won their last four Premier League games; they’ve only won five in a row in the competition on two other occasions (April 2014 and December 1992).
Sam Allardyce hasn’t won five consecutive matches in the Premier League as a manager since December 2006 while in charge of Bolton Wanderers.
Crystal Palace have won all four of their Premier League games in which Mamadou Sakho has played, keeping three clean sheets in the process.
Saints have won just once in their last five Premier League games at St. Mary’s, losing three (D1).
Wilfried Zaha has been directly involved in 13 Premier League goals this season (six goals, seven assists); three more than in his previous three top-flight campaigns combined (six goals, four assists).

Puel’s pre-Palace injury update
Show/hide article…
The forward missed Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Bournemouth, after picking up a groin injury in the defeat at Spurs last month, and has still not quite recovered from the problem.
Puel said: "I think Manolo will not be available for this game, but we will see for Saturday.”
The Saints boss also explained that Sofiane Boufal has a slight knock and will be assessed ahead of the game.
"We need to see about Sofiane Boufal. He feels something in his muscle, and after that we will see if there is any tiredness from the weekend,” said Puel.

Chelsea target Soares as Conte adds third Saints defender to wishlist
Show/hide article…
Chelsea have added a third Southampton defender to their summer transfer target list after setting their sights on right back Cedric Soares.
Standard Sport first reported in December that Virgil van Dijk is wanted at centre half, while last Friday confirmed that former Chelsea left-back Ryan Bertrand is being lined up for a potential return to Stamford Bridge.
But it is understood that Soares is also admired by Chelsea, who want to increase the size of their squad in order to challenge for the Champions League as well as the three domestic competitions next term.
Just as Bertrand is wanted to compete with Marcus Alonso for a starting role at left-wing-back, Soares is being viewed as a possible contender for Victor Moses’ right-wing-back berth.
The Portugal international has impressed for Southampton since joining from Sporting Lisbon for £4.7m in 2015.
Southampton gave the 25-year-old a new a new four-year contract last summer to try and secure his long-term future at St Mary’s Stadium.
However, his performances have been so consistent that Barcelona and Chelsea are now considering making a bid.
Barring injury, Alonso and Moses have played every League game since coach Antonio Conte switched to 3-4-3 in September.
Significantly, Conte has not selected youngsters Ola Aina or Nathan Ake, who he brought back from a season-long loan at Bournemouth in January, for any League games.
When Moses missed the 2-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday, the Chelsea manager opted to move attacking midfielder Pedro to play there instead.
Southampton are obviously not prepared to sell all three of their defenders during the close season.
They keep insisting that Van Dijk is not for sale, while Bertrand also has four years left on his deal.
But Chelsea are poised to make bids for the trio and will try to prise at least one away from the south coast.

Premier League relegation showdown - who is going down?
Show/hide article…
With the Premier League entering it’s final stages, there are still at least six sides firmly in the relegation battle.
While Sunderland and Middlesbrough’s chances seem to be getting slimmer by the week, both clubs will still believe they can escape.
And four clubs are battling to ensure they don’t get sucked into the final spot.
With eight (or in some cases nine) games to go, Sportsmail assesses the relegation candidates…
Where to start? Yet again Sunderland find themselves needing the greatest of escapes, but this time it looks like it may prove too much.
Huge problems on and off the pitch, eight points from safety, they probably need to double their five wins so far this season to survive.
Positive signs: They’ve been here before, and escaped. And their remaining fixtures include several against fellow strugglers. Six of those games are winnable if they can find any form.
Negative signs: They can’t find any form. Winnable games are one thing, but actually winning them has proved nearly impossible. Their manager is under pressure and feeling the strain, and it seems hugely unlikely that they can escape this time.
As the teams above them start to pick up points, Boro are just beginning to lose touch, and a point against Swansea last weekend did them no favours.
They have the best defence in the bottom half of the league - in fact their defence is the fifth best in the entire division, better than Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester City - but they can’t score enough goals, and goalless draws are worthless at this stage of the season.
Having sacked Aitor Karanka, and replaced him with a caretaker boss with no management experience, they’ve got to be up against it.
They must win one, or ideally both, of their next two games, but four of the next five are against relegation rivals, before a really tough run-in.
Positive signs: A solid defence provides a platform for wins if they can just start scoring goals.
Negative signs: Already five points from safety, the lowest scorers in the league face a horrible final four games. If they’re still in the drop zone come April 26, they’re as good as down.
Bottom of the table when they sacked Mike Phelan, Hull have been resurgent under Marco Silva, and are now just one point away from exiting the relegation zone for the first time since October.
Their home form has been superb since Silva took over, with four wins and two draws at the KCOM under the new boss - and four remaining home games include three against sides in the bottom half.
But to stay up they will probably need to start picking up points elsewhere too - and only five points have come away from home so far.
Positive signs: Dramatically improved under Silva, superb at home, and hitting form at just the right time.
Negative signs: Struggle badly on the road, and still have some tricky fixtures to come.
After a big bounce when Paul Clement took over, Swansea have slipped back towards the danger zone, and are looking over their shoulders nervously.
One point from the last three games have seen them sucked back to within touching distance of Hull, and they’ll need to rediscover their scoring touch if they want to pull clear again.
That said, given their form in the first half of the season, they’ll be delighted to be outside of the drop zone going into the final stretch, and barring a remarkable improvement from the two North Easy sides, only need to hold off Hull to stay up.
Positive signs: Playing better football since the start of the year, and a couple of wins should see them pull away.
Negative signs: Just a point, and only one goal, in the last three games, means Hull are hot on their tails.
What a huge result Palace picked up at Stamford Bridge last Saturday! And what a superb time to be hitting form.
Between the first week of December and the last week of February, Palace won just once, and lost eight, of 11 Premier League games. Since then they’ve won four on the bounce, including the remarkable victory against league leaders Chelsea.
They aren’t safe yet, but it’s allowed them to pull away from the bottom three, and unless their form goes into a tailspin, they should be safe.
Positive signs: Recent form is excellent, and they have five home games remaining. Sam Allardyce knows how to stay up.
Negative signs: Still only four points clear of Hull, and have to go to both Manchester clubs in the final three games. They won’t want to be in touching distance going into the final weeks.
At the end of January Burnley were in the top half of the table, and any thoughts of relegation seemed ridiculous.
Since then they’ve picked up only one point, and, somehow, have been sucked back into the battle.
They have the big advantage of points on the board, and realistically they aren’t going to give up nine points to Middlesbrough or 12 to Sunderland. But with Hull, Swansea and Palace playing well, they do need to be careful about that final spot.
Positive signs: They are five points clear of Hull, which is a big margin for this stage, and they have three winnable games at Turf Moor, where they have been excellent all season
Negative signs: Sinking like a stone, they have the worst form of any side in the battle. No away wins all season, so if they don’t do the business at home, they’ll really be in trouble.
Not quite safe yet…
Leicester City have pulled away with five straight wins, but they’re only a point ahead of Burnley so aren’t quite safe yet.
And both West Ham and Watford find themselves under pressure. The Hammers, particularly, could be in trouble if they lose at Arsenal on Wednesday.
Even Southampton, in the top half of the table, are not quite out of danger - but for them to go down it would need Hull and Swansea to have an outstanding finish to the season.

Puel: Points at home are vital
Show/hide article…
Claude Puel says it is important that Southampton do not drop points at home for the second time in a matter of days, as they prepare to welcome in-form Crystal Palace.
Saints were held 0-0 by Bournemouth last Saturday, but are quickly back in action at St Mary’s, with the visit of the Eagles.
With the six teams behind them all within three points – the last of which is Palace themselves – Puel is clear about how much weight is attached to the result.
“It’s an important game, because we had a draw against Bournemouth,” said the Saints boss.
"It’s important to win points at home. All the support of our fans will be important for this occasion.
"We’ve got to play against a good team, who are in confidence. They have won their last four games and have just conceded one goal. It’s a great team for the moment.
“They are in form, but it’s important for us to give a good response on the pitch. All my players have a good focus about this game, which is an important game, of course.”

THE MATCH
Southampton vs Crystal Palace
Wednesday 5th April, 7.45pm BST
St Mary’s Stadium
Premier League
WHAT’S AT STAKE?
Saints host Crystal Palace looking to better a frustrating 0-0 draw against South Coast neighbours AFC Bournemouth on Saturday.
Claude Puel’s men remain in the top half of the table, but come up against a Crystal Palace side in good form.
The visitors beat league leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge at the weekend, which made it four wins on the spin as they look to pull away from a relegation battle.
TEAM NEWS
Southampton: Manolo Gabbiadini remains sidelined with a groin injury sustained in the 2-1 defeat to Tottenham before the international break, while Sofiane Boufal is also a doubt with a muscle issue.
Crystal Palace: Sam Allardyce will be without the services of Scott Dann after he sustained a knee ligament injury at Chelsea.
Elsewhere, Patrick van Aanholt and James Tomkins are also out but Loic Remy is back in training with the squad.
FORM GUIDE
Southampton’s previous five:
AFC Bournemouth (h) D 0-0
Tottenham Hotspur (a) L 1-2
Watford (a) W 4-3
Manchester United (n) L 2-3 (EFL Cup)
Sunderland (a) W 4-0
Crystal Palace’s previous five:
Chelsea (a) W 2-1
Watford (h) W 1-0
West Brom (a) W 2-0
Middlesbrough (h) W 1-0
Stoke City (a) L 1-0
TOP PERFORMERS
Leading the way for assists, Dušan Tadić was lively again on Saturday against AFC Bournemouth in his favoured central position.
His creativity will be needed as Saints look to break down a side who have conceded just one goal in their last four fixtures.
Top scorers: Charlie Austin (9), Manolo Gabbiadini, Nathan Redmond (6)
Most assists: Dušan Tadić (6), James Ward-Prowse (5)
Crystal Palace’s upturn in fortunes have coincided with the scintillating form of winger Wilfried Zaha.
With pace and power to hurt any defence, he has been directly involved in no less than 13 Premier League goals so far this season (six goals, seven assists).
He teed up Christian Benteke for the Belgian international’s cheeky chip over Thibaut Courtois against Chelsea last time out, who is another player Saints will be wary of after 10 goals this season.
Top scorers: Christian Benteke (10), Wilfried Zaha (6), James McArthur (5)
Most assists: Wilfried Zaha (7), Jason Puncheon (3)

Revealed! The Premier League goalkeepers who have made the most saves in a single game this season
Show/hide article…
Having a reliable goalkeeper is just as important as a consistent goalscorer.
A commanding display from a side’s number one can hugely lift the confidence of an entire team and help to seal those all important points.
Wayne Hennessey, for instance, put in an excellent shift for Crystal Palace at the weekend, helping the Eagles to a shock 2-1 win over title leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
But which 'keeper has made the highest number of saves in a single Premier League game this season?

Southampton forward Manolo Gabbiadini remains sidelined with a groin strain picked up at Tottenham last month.
Sofiane Boufal is a doubt after pulling a muscle in training but Uruguayan defender Martin Caceres is fit and could make his debut.
Palace are without Scott Dann, who suffered knee ligament damage during the win at Chelsea.
James Tomkins and Patrick van Aanholt are also out but Loic Remy has returned to training and may feature.
Tony Husband: "A Crystal Palace fan cut my hair last week and when I suggested Sam Allardyce would steer them to safety he warned me to take a look at their daunting fixture list.
"Palace still have to play Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool and both Manchester clubs. So the barber’s point, with no disrespect aimed at Southampton, was that three points is a must on the south coast.
"However, that was before the Eagles’ stunning win at Chelsea. The low-scoring Saints will want to avoid going the same way as the champions-elect and need a performance in front of their home fans.
“If Palace win, my barber will be singing while he’s trimming next time around.”
Southampton manager Claude Puel: "It’s important to have a good focus and concentration against a strong Palace team.
“It’s also important that we score goals from different areas. It is not just the work of the strikers, but the work for all.”
Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce: "You’d hope we could target a point, given the form we’re in.
"We have to be at 100%. Every player was at their top level on Saturday.
“I told the boys to enjoy the [Chelsea] victory at home. There’s no real time to celebrate. There’s still a way to go.”
I think Palace’s unbeaten run will continue when they go to St Mary’s but they might have to settle for a point.
