Southampton vs. Huddersfield Town Team News:

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl continues to have a number of selection issues with his Saints defenders.

Centre-back duo Maya Yoshida and Jannik Vestergaard remain out. Vestergaard has been suffering with a groin injury for a number of weeks, while Yoshida has been struggling with a virus.

Huddersfield are also missing a defender in Erik Durm.

Mathias Jorgensen and Chris Lowe are doubts but could still play, while manager Jan Siewert has confirmed back-up goalkeeper Joel Coleman will start on their final game of the season ahead of a return to the Championship.
