Southampton are running out of time to generate even a modicum of hope for a great escape as Crystal Palace visit St. Mary’s on Wednesday.
Saints’ nine points are a whopping 17 back of 17th-place Wolves with just 27 points available the rest of the way beginning with this visit from the Eagles.

Palace is flying, too, winners of three-straight in the Premier League and fresh off a defeat of Fulham to seal a trip to Wembley Stadium for an FA Cup semifinal meeting with Aston Villa.
That may not be Palace’s only route to Europe if they stay hot, too. Oliver Glasner’s men know it’s a long shot, but their 39 points have them in 12th place and eight points off seventh with nine matches to go this season.
