SAINTS will give everything they have against Crystal Palace at St Mary's today to ensure they make it another record breaking season – and qualify for the Europa League.

Virgil van Dijk, the club’s newly crowned players’ player and fans’ player of the season, is ready to finish with a flourish on the Premier League's final day.

After winning six of their last eight games, Saints bow-out at St Mary's still dreaming of big things.

A victory would guarantee their best-ever Premier League points total and, depending on how West Ham and Manchester United get on, potentially a fifth place finish.

It would be some way to end another excellent season under Ronald Koeman, who led Saints to a record breaking Prem campaign last season – coming in seventh on 60 points.

“We know it is the last game, so we are going to give it our all like every single game we did the last couple of weeks,” van Dijk explained.

“It is going to be an all-in game for us. We want to win and hopefully it is going to happen, with good football and a lot of goals. But it is going to be tough because we didn’t beat them this year.

“We want to just win the game and hopefully that is going to happen.”

The central defender, 24, is urging Saints to start the game in similar fashion to the superb Manchester City 4-2 home victory two weeks’ ago.

Koeman's men raced into a 2-0 lead through Shane Long and Sadio Mane against City in the opening half-hour.

“We need to play the same game we played the last couple of weeks, especially the first half against City was amazing,” the Dutchman mused.

“If we can start the game as good as we did then, win the game, keep a clean sheet and then celebrate hopefully after.”

Palace are one of only three teams that Saints have not tasted victory against this term, having lost 1-0 at Selhurst Park and 2-1 in the FA Cup at St Mary’s in January.

That isn’t something that’s playing on their minds, though.

“No, no, no. Not at all but that’s the only team, I think, we didn’t beat this year [apart from Leicester and Everton],” he said.

“It is going to be a tough game, we are ready for it. It is our last game and we want to give it our all.”

Palace will come to the south coast with their minds very much focused on their FA Cup final against Manchester United next Saturday.

A weakened team selection is expected to reflect that.

And the Wembley final may have repercussions for Saints, if they finish seventh.

It's still ifs and buts, however, if United finish in the top-six and win the cup then seventh will be good enough to qualify for the Europa League.

But if Palace take the crown, then they will claim the Europa place instead.
