Huddersfield Town vs Southampton – Premier League preview, prediction, odds, how to watch and more
Southampton will look to pull away from the relegation zone when they travel to second-from-bottom Huddersfield Town.
Charlie Austin's header five minutes from time saw Ralph Hasenhuttl claim his first win as Southampton manager with a 3-2 victory over Arsenal last weekend.
However, the Saints only remain outside of the drop zone on goal difference and will therefore look to consolidate their revival at Huddersfield, who have lost all four of their top-flight games in December.
GOAL! Manchester City 1-2 Crystal Palace (Andros Townsend, 35 minutes)
WHAT! A! GOAL!
That is stunning!
The ball floats to Andros Townsend 30 yards from goal, dropping out of the air and onto Townsend's left boot.
Townsend hits it first time on the volley, and his strike is ludicrously clean. The ball rifles past Ederson, seemingly finding a second wind to rise five yards from goal, taking it past the diving Brazilian and powering into the back of the net.
GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Watford (Troy Deeney, 30 minutes)
Lukasz Fabianski had saved his last three Premier League penalties faced, but Troy Deeney powers past the Pole and Watford do indeed take the lead at the London Stadium.
David Brooks has really caught the eye this season with his dribbling ability and pace, but on this occasion it is the fiercest of finishes that has given Bournemouth the lead.
The young Welsh international charges at the Brighton defence, forcing them to back off and cutting inside to power past Mathew Ryan in some fashion.
Ralph Hasenhuttl's arrival has sparked Nathan Redmond into some good form. He was influential against Arsenal last week, and he's put Southampton ahead this!
It is a through ball from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg that sets him free and Redmond finds an excellent finish past Jonas Lossl.
More good play from Brighton and Yves Bissouma forces Asmir Begovic into a strong save, staying big to the last moment to block the effort after Bissouma exchanged passes with Pascal Groß.

Player to watch…
Danny Ings: The striker's double against Arsenal was crucial to see the Saints through to a victory that took them out of the bottom three. The Liverpool loanee took advantage of some poor defending to head home his first, but demonstrated his class with a looping header into the top corner for his second. With Charlie Austin also finding the net against the Gunners, Hasenhuttl will be confident of more goals from his strikers in the coming weeks.
