Team News: Toby Alderweireld recovers to make Southampton bench

Southampton have made two changes ahead of their Premier League clash against Crystal Palace this evening.

Eljero Elia and Filip Djuricic come into the Saints' starting XI in place of Florin Gardos and Dusan Tadic.

Defender Toby Alderweireld is available after a seven-week lay-off with a hamstring injury, but is rested on the bench.

Meanwhile, Palace midfielder Mile Jedinak misses out on this evening's game after being banned for four matches by the Football Association.

Glenn Murray is also suspended, while Jordon Mutch is unavailable after incurring a thigh injury. Joe Ledley, James McArthur and Dwight Gayle are drafted in as their replacements.
