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.

Five goals, three points - a very happy Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Manchester United good, Cardiff poor, and it finishes 5-1.
Promising signs for Solskjaer's Manchester United, though Cardiff were pretty dire. Would Manchester United have taken them apart so comprehensively with Jose Mourinho still at the helm? I think they may still have done...
Nevertheless, a welcome return to Cardiff for the new Manchester United manager.
That's all from us here tonight after an action-packed day of footballing action. Manchester City and Chelsea faltered at home, Arsenal got back to winning ways at lunchtime and Manchester United kick-started a new era in impressive fashion this evening.
