Tomkins gets away at the back post to meet a Milivojevic corner but can't generate any real power on the header and it's a simple catch for Alex McCarthy.
90'
Zaha is all on his own as the ball is lumped forward but he does well to earn his side a corner and the chance for a late winner.
85'
J. McArthur gets yellow.
McArthur trips Djenepo up as he raced towards the box and picks up a yellow card.
84'
C. Kouyaté enters the game and replaces M. Meyer.
Meyer makes way for Kouyate as Hodgson looks to hold on in the last few minutes.
79'
J. Ward-Prowse gets yellow.
Ward-Prowse is retrospectively booked after jumping into a reckless challenge on Zaha as he led a counter.
78'
Southampton have come alive since equalising and Palace are hanging on now as the hosts pile pressure on them.
74'
D. Ings has scored a goal for Southampton!
GOAL!! SOUTHAMPTON ARE LEVEL! Kelly plays a woeful back-pass behind Tomkins and Ings latches onto it before slotting under Guaita and in! It's 1-1!
72'
Palace earn a succession of corners, but they come to nothing as Southampton pull everyone back to defend it.
70'
Despite the changes, Southampton have rarely looked like getting a goal back. There's a lack of urgency from both sides at the moment.
Minute
Description
68'
S. Armstrong enters the game and replaces S. Boufal.
Boufal is replaced by Armstrong on the right as Hasenhuttl makes his second attacking change.
66'
Riedewald is back on the pitch and looks like he will be okay for the moment at least.
65'
Riedewald is down injured and that will concern Hodgson. With Van Aanholt and Schlupp already sidelined, he does not have a senior alternative available.
63'
M. Djenepo enters the game and replaces C. Adams.
Adams is replaced with Djenepo as Hasenhuttl freshens up his forward line in search of an equaliser. The substitute goes out to the left wing and Redmond goes up front with Ings.
56'
Both sides have come out of the blocks flying in the second half, with a great deal more intent and urgency in their play now.
54'
Milivojevic strikes one from distance after a clearance comes out to him, but it cannons out off a defender.
50'
J. Tomkins has scored a goal for Crystal Palace! Assist by L. Milivojević.
GOAL!! TOMKINS HEADS PALACE IN FRONT! The centre-half meets Milivojevic's free-kick and powers a header in off the underside of the bar! It's 1-0 to Palace!
Milivojevic's delivery was floated into a good area for Tomkins to attack, and he showed far more desire to get to the ball than his marker.
46'
We're back under way for the second half!
45' +1
HALF-TIME: SOUTHAMPTON 0-0 CRYSTAL PALACE
45'
Boufal twists and turns on the edge of the box, sending a defender to the floor before standing a cross up to the back post, but it's headed away.
43'
Hojbjerg takes on a very ambitious shot from distance and it's high over the bar and into the stands.
41'
A loose ball breaks to Ayew just inside the box and he steers a low shot towards the bottom-right corner through a defender's legs, but it lacks power and it's an easy take for Alex McCarthy in the end.
39'
Neat work from Zaha down the left sees the ball worked to Kelly outside the box to the right. He opts to shoot and ballons it over the bar, prompting a furious reaction from Zaha.
37'
Guaita comes for a corner but spills it as he goes to ground, forcing Sakho to hastily boot clear with Adams lurking.
32'
L. Milivojević gets yellow.
Milivojevic blocks Boufal off and prevents a counter-attack, earning him a clear yellow card. He gets a talking-to as well for his furious reaction to being booked.
30'
Southampton win a corner but the delivery is wasted as Redmond is penalised for fouling his man. He isn't pleased with the decision, but it's the right call.
28'
A messy passage of play involving a slip from Riedewald, a loose touch from Adams and a strange clearance from James McCarthy that went backwards eventually culminates in Palace clearing their lines.
26'
Very few chances have been made for either side so far in this half, and we're still waiting for the first shot of the game after Meyer's was ruled out.
22'
Southampton win a corner after strong work by Adams on the left of the box, before Tomkins played the ball behind off the corner flag. However, the set-piece eventually comes to nothing.
18'
The game has opened up since that disallowed goal, and Palace seem to have been buoyed by their chance even if their strike was chalked off.
13'
Zaha is furious at not being awarded a free-kick for what he perceives to be rough treatment as he's closed down by multiple Southampton players.
11'
The hosts are still on top at the moment, working the ball down the right and crossing low through Cedric, but the ball is hacked away. Palace have hardly been out of their own half in the last few minutes.
9'
Southampton have enjoyed a positive spell, with Ings nearly catching Guaita in possession and Boufal dancing along the byline and into the box before giving a foul away.
7'
A number of clumsy challenges have gone in early on and McArthur's foul on Boufal gives Southampton the chance to deliver from a wide area, but it's headed behind for a corner that also comes to nothing.
5'
Hojbjerg, having played for about a minute with the back of his shirt torn open, finally gets a chance to go to the sidelines and have it replaced.
3'
There's been plenty of bite in the early stages of this one as Hojbjerg has the back of his shirt ripped off as Milivojevic grabs hold of it.
1'
We're under way at St. Mary's!
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League fixture between Southampton and Crystal Palace at St. Mary's Stadium.
Southampton have dragged themselves out of the relegation zone with two wins in a row and will hope to continue their positive run of form against Crystal Palace, who are five points ahead of them in ninth.
Southampton XI (4-4-2): Alex McCarthy; Cedric Soares, Jack Stephens, Jan Bednarek, Ryan Bertrand; Sofiane Boufal, James Ward-Prowse, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Nathan Redmond; Danny Ings, Che Adams.
Southampton substitutes: Jannik Vestergaard, Stuart Armstrong, Moussa Djenepo, Maya Yoshida, William Smallbone, Oriol Romeu, Angus Gunn.
Crystal Palace XI (4-5-1): Vicente Guaita; Martin Kelly, James Tomkins, Mamadou Sakho, Jairo Riedewald; Max Meyer, James McCarthy, Luka Milivojevic, James McArthur, Wilfred Zaha; Jordan Ayew.
Crystal Palace substitutes: Wayne Hennessey, Connor Wickham, Sam Woods, Brandon Pierrick, James Daly, Cheikhou Kouyate, Víctor Camarasa.
These two sides have largely cancelled each other out. There's been plenty of bite and fight in midfield but a lack of creativity in the final third. Plenty of room for improvement in the second half.
Southampton host Tottenham next, while Palace travel to Carrow Road to face Norwich City.
Thank you for joining our coverage, we hope you enjoyed the game. Until next time, goodbye!
