Comments:

League position: 13th Southampton had now won one of their last ten games in the Premier League (lost five) and without a win in their last six games in the competition (lost three). Charlie Austin had now scored five goals in his last five starts in the Premier League for the Saints. Charlie Austin had now scored against Huddersfield Town in the Premier League, in the League Championship (for Queens Park Rangers) and in League One (for Swindon Town).

Comments:

League position: 11th Huddersfield Town had now taken four points from their last two away games in the Premier League; as many as in their first eight in the competition. Laurent Depoitre had now scored three goals in his last three Premier League games having scored two in his previous 13 appearances in the competition. Had the Terriers won this game, they would have been in the top half of the top division on Christmas Day for the first time since 1954.
