History of the Huddersfield Town v Southampton fixture

Southampton travel to take on Huddersfield Town at Galpharm Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Saints will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Huddersfield was more than a decade ago, in September 1994, with Southampton inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Terriers in a League Cup match.
