Roy Hodgson has never really been one for rotation no matter how quickly games come along for the Crystal Palace manager.
Following Boxing Day's win over West Ham there would not likely be too many changes anyway, but given the injury situation in south London it is near impossible to mix things up against Southampton whether the manager wants to or not.
The recurrence of Patrick van Aanholt's hamstring problem means Jairo Riedewald - who had been suffering with illness - will have to once more step in at left-back while it is a toss up between James McCarthy and Max Meyer to come in on the right wing in place of the injured Andros Townsend.
Having been given a chance back in the side because of injuries, Christian Benteke is still ruled out with his own issue meaning Jordan Ayew will continue to lead the line at Southampton following his stunning late winner on Thursday.
Crystal Palace predicted XI (4-1-4-1): Guaita; Kelly, Tomkins, Sakho, Riedewald; Milivojevic; Kouyate, McArthur, McCarthy, Zaha; Ayew
