RALPH Hasenhuttl admits Crystal Palace provide a “unique” test for his side this weekend, and is wary of the threat they pose in matches at Selhurst Park. Of their six fixtures at Selhurst Park, three have ended in victory, one in a draw and two in defeat, against Arsenal and Chelsea. Discussing the challenge Saints face this weekend,
Ralph Hasenhuttl said: “It is a team that, especially at home, has had some good results this season. They are, at home, at the moment, very strong and had some good results in the past. They are, I must say, a team with massive quality. We had some tough fights against them in the past and we know how tough it is there. But we had also some good results there. I remember a win and I remember last year a draw. It was a good away game from us last year. They are unique. This is a typical Crystal Palace team at the moment that you are always expecting. When you see the goals they have scored this season – super, super goals to score. Fantastic goals with beautiful counter-attacks. They definitely have the quality to hurt every team. But we have also shown in the past they have some parts they don’t like. Especially when you set them under pressure, they are able to make some mistakes. You can definitely win some balls and score some goals against them.”
