Huddersfield vs Southampton

Southampton got their first win under Ralph Hasenhuttl last weekend, and they'll be looking to continue their streak, as they travel up to Huddersfield for an important match at the bottom.

The Saints scored late on, courtesy of Charlie Austin against Arsenal last Sunday to give the whole of St. Mary's a huge boost.

Whereas Huddersfield lost at home to fellow relegation rivals, Newcastle United, leaving a very disappointed set of fans.

 

Team News

Huddersfield striker Steve Mounie is available for selection again after a three-match suspension.

Ravij van La Para returned to training this week after a back strain but Aaron Mooy, Danny Williams, Abdelhamid Sabiri and Tommy Smith are all still out.

Southampton have no new injury concerns for the trip to Yorkshire.

 

The Managers

Huddersfield Town head coach David Wagner has been expressing his opinion on this weekend's opponents.

"I have seen the game against Arsenal and they had a little bit of luck you need to win matches in the Premier League," the Terriers boss said.

"They are much more aggressive than they were before. They play a higher line and are much more on the front foot. We will have to find the right solutions."

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl believes a win against Huddersfield could send a message to the rest of the league.

"We can see a small light at the end of the tunnel and I think the way to go out of this situation we are in at the moment, is a long one," the Saints manager explained.

"The next game against Huddersfield is very important for us because we can send a strong signal to ourselves and the league that we are not leaning back and are working hard."
