Southampton Predicted XI: Huddersfield (H)

Southampton finish off the Premier League 2018-19 season by facing Huddersfield Town at St Mary’s on Sunday.

It has been a mixed campaign for the Saints after a disappointing start under Mark Hughes left them fearing for their Premier League status.

However, Ralph Hasenhuttl came in and has worked wonders which culminated in securing survival a fortnight ago in a 3-3 draw with Bournemouth.

Southampton did stagger over the line and are now winless in their last four but will hope to give the supporters one last reason to celebrate this weekend.

The Saints currently sit in 16th on 38 points with a final win set to take the tally above 40 and potentially into 15th above Burnley.

Their opponents have had a shocking season having already been relegated, with the Terriers’ tally of points on 15 having won just three games.

Hasenhuttl gave some players such as Fraser Forster and Mohamed Elyounoussi an opportunity to impress in the 3-1 defeat to West Ham last time out.

The manager said his press conference today that he is likely to revert back to the system that proved successful and reinstate players that were left out last weekend.

Here’s how we predict the side to line up:
