Huddersfield Town will host Southampton at the John Smith's Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Championship campaign.
The home side have endured a slow start to life under manager Darren Moore and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone. They were beaten 1-0 by Hull City in their last game and had looked set to be headed toward a hard-fought point before their opponents scored the winner in additional time.
Huddersfield Town sit 21st in the league table with 15 points from 16 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.
After a disappointing start to their season, Southampton have finally found good form and have now begun their push for promotion. They beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1 in their last game with Will Smallbone opening the scoring just five minutes after kickoff before Adam Armstrong scored the game-winner in the second half.
The visitors sit fourth in the league table with 30 points picked up so far. They are nine points behind league leaders Leicester City and will be looking to reduce that gap on Saturday.
