Ronald Koeman: 'We must play our own game against Crystal Palace'

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman says that his side must play their own game when they face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has admitted that using their own strengths will be key to stopping Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon.

Palace have received plaudits this season for both their offensive performances and results, but while praising the Eagles, Koeman has indicated that he was full of belief in his team's ability to win their first Premier League game in four attempts.

The 52-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "They are a strong team, they have a lot of physicality, and some good quality players.

"They like to play offensively, with a big spirit in the team. We have to stop that, and play our own game, and to use our strengths will be very important, and very decisive."

The two clubs are separated by two points and six places in the standings.
