Comments:

League position: 5th Due to the game between Manchester United and AFC Bournemouth being delayed by two days, Southampton finished the season in 6th position. The Saints concluded their 2015-16 campaign by winning four consecutive Premier League games for the first time since November 2014. They had now won eight of their last ten Premier League home games. Sadio Mane had now scored eight goals in his last eight Premier League appearances having failed to score in his previous 19 league outings.

Comments:

Final league position 2015-16: 15th A week before their FA Cup Final appearance against Manchester United, Crystal Palace had yet to win any of their final-day away games in the Premier League (drawn two and lost three). Palace had now won none of their last 11 away games in the Premier League since 19 December 2015 (lost six).
