da bet7： Southampton have undoubtedly improved since the appointment of Ralph Hasenhuttl. However, the Saints still have plenty of work to do, and points to accrue, if they’re to escape the Premier League’s relegation dogfight all together.
The south coast club host Crystal Palace at St Mary’s Stadium on Wednesday, and Hasenhuttl ought to set up his side to really go at the Eagles.
On the chalkboard
Southampton could take their Premier League winning streak to three consecutive matches with a victory over Roy Hodgson’s outfit. However, they will only do so by being positive, aggressive and creative.

In recent months, a lack of creativity has been a real problem for Southampton. Although things have improved significantly on that front recently, Southampton still have room to grow.
In Stuart Armstrong, they have a player capable of unpicking a stubborn opposition defence. Now they must make a habit of using his skillset in an effective manner.
Setting up to get the best out of Armstrong
For this midweek clash, Hasenhuttl ought to revert to the setup he deployed his side with for their win over Leicester City. That formation saw Armstrong play a string-pulling role alongside Nathan Redmond, behind a lone striker.
With Redmond’s pace running forward from deep, and the striker playing a target man role ahead, this system gives Armstrong plenty of scope to craft goalscoring opportunities. Such guile and invention will be needed against Palace, and the 26-year-old can be the man to supply it if those around him are set up to bring the best out of him.
