Southampton v Huddersfield: match preview

Southampton v Huddersfield
Southampton v Huddersfield: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Southampton will want to end a difficult campaign on a high against Championship-bound Huddersfield. Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side have shown promise since leaving the stifling Mark Hughes days behind but there is still a lot of work to be done to avoid battling relegation next season. Defence being a primary problem to be addressed after shipping 10 goals in their last four matches. Huddersfield are unlikely to pose too much of a threat but after a brilliant draw against Manchester United maybe they can give their remarkable fans another day of joy before the hard work begins in the second tier. Graham Searles
