Southampton should grab much-needed victory

Kick-off 3pm Saturday

Just three points separate Southampton from the relegation zone but they can boost their survival hopes with a win against Huddersfield.

The pressure is mounting on the Saints, who follow up this clash with away matches against Tottenham and Manchester United.

But they have a good enough squad to push for a top-half finish and are likely to seize the initiative against an injury-hit Terriers side who haven't kept a clean sheet in their last six road trips.

Recommendation
Southampton
2pts 8-13 general
