Claude Puel must give these 3 Southampton players a chance against Crystal Palace

Cuco Martina

A cult hero on the South Coast after his stunning goal against Arsenal last season, the right back was on the verge of a Deadline Day move to rejoin Ronald Koeman at Everton in August, but was recalled to the South Coast at the last minute.

He was handed a start in the Europa League win against Sparta Prague, and was arguably the best player on the pitch, meaning he would have felt hard-done-by when he found himself on the bench at the weekend. The 26-year-old will be ready and waiting to show off once again at St. Mary’s.
