Only Pompey under Paul Hart have waited longer than Palace for their first points of a Premier League campaign, losing their first seven games before eventually recording a win over Wolves in their eighth. Hart was sacked in November - Palace, of course, have already made such a move with Hodgson replacing Frank de Boer just four games in. Replacement Avram Grant was unable to save Pompey, who finished the season bottom of the table.
Saturday's defeat took Palace beyond Southampton for the second-longest winless start since the top flight's rebranding, with the Saints having lost their first five games that season.
