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.
What time does it start?
Huddersfield vs Southampton kicks off at 3pm (GMT)

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.

Wilfried Ndidi unfurls a corking long-range strike that seems destined for the top corner, and it would find its way there were it not for a flying Spanish goalkeeper.
Kepa Arrizabalaga produces a quite magnificent save to tip Ndidi's strike over the bar. Brilliant effort, brilliant save.
Half-time at Stamford Bridge, where it is Chelsea 0-0 Leicester.
And it is also time for the interval at the Vitality Stadium. 1-0 to the hosts after David Brooks' excellent opener.
Ralph Hasenhuttl is enjoying the Premier League so far, and his Southampton lead Huddersfield 2-0 away from home.
