IT'S your last chance to see Saints at home on a weekend this season.

With the season finale against Liverpool to be moved to a midweek fixture as The Reds compete in the FA Cup Final, Saints take on Crystal Palace at St Mary's at 3pm on Saturday.

Captain James Ward-Prowse is in blistering form, having scored another belting direct free kick in the draw with Brighton last weekend as he nears David Beckham's Premier League record. 

Another star of the season, Tino Livramento, suffered a nasty injury at The Amex Stadium on Sunday.

13th placed Saints will go into the match with The Eagles, who sit two points behind them in 14th, looking to climb the table.
