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.

(Odds provided by 888 Sport)
GOAL! Huddersfield 1-3 Southampton (Michael Obafemi, 71 minutes)
A first Premier League goal for Michael Obafemi!
He had just squandered a good opportunity after being set free in a one-on-one, but on this occasion the young Irish striker receives the cut back from Nathan Redmond and makes no mistake with his finish.
A proud moment for Obafemi, and Southampton are surely now destined for a second consecutive Premier League win.
RED CARD! Lewis Dunk is sent off for a second bookable offence
Bournemouth 1-0 Brighton, 72 minutes
Callum Wilson gets beyond Lewis Dunk, the referee goes to his pocket and Lewis Dunk has no complaints as he trudges off the pitch and down the tunnel.
TEAM NEWS - Cardiff vs Manchester United
The team news is in from the Cardiff City Stadium:
GOAL! Bournemouth 2-0 Brighton (David Brooks, 77 minutes)
Two for David Brooks, two for Bournemouth - three points secured?
It is a lovely ball into the box by Ryan Fraser that is met brilliantly by Brooks leaping high, beating Mathew Ryan to double the Bournemouth lead.
About ten minutes left around the grounds.
Anyone for late drama...
GOAL! Manchester City 2-3 Crystal Palace (Kevin De Bruyne, 85 minutes)
From nowhere, Manchester City have a lifeline!
Kevin De Bruyne, off the bench, is trying to cross the ball but seems to overhit it.
However, that only takes the ball curling to the far post and it cannons in off the woodwork.
Perhaps?
GOAL! West Ham 0-2 Watford (Gerard Deulofeu, 87 minutes)
Watford have ended West Ham's winning run!
Gerard Deulofeu breaks free from the home defence after exchanging passes with Roberto Pereyra and beats Lukasz Fabianski with ease to secure a big away win for Watford.
Manchester City 2-3 Crystal Palace, 90 minutes
FOUR added minutes at the Etihad...
Manchester City 2-3 Crystal Palace, 90 + 2 minutes
Kevin De Bruyne cross, Gabriel Jesus is free...
No! He misses! What a chance. Is that it for Manchester City?
A huge win for Leicester, ending Chelsea's unbeaten home record this season thanks to Jamie Vardy's goal.
