Match Preview
Saints welcome back Fonte Jose Fonte will finally return to the Southampton squad when Huddersfield visit St Mary's. The Portuguese defender began a one-match ban after receiving a fifth booking of the season against Cheltenham in the FA Cup on November 27. Fonte sat out the home defeat by Brentford but Saints' subsequent matches have all fallen victim to the weather. He is set to go straight back into the back four with Dan Seaborne likely to give way. Striker Rickie Lambert is fit after a dead leg while the postponements have given defender Frazer Richardson (thigh), midfielder Richard Chaplow (Achilles) and frontman Lee Barnard (groin) further time to recover from their injuries and all three will be checked over. Winger Lee Holmes (ankle) remains a long-term absentee. Huddersfield will be able to welcome back Lee Peltier. The defender missed Boxing Day`s surprise defeat at home to Hartlepool as he was serving a one-match ban, but he will return to Lee Clark`s squad for the St Mary`s encounter on Bank Holiday Tuesday. Clark confirmed his side have not picked up any fresh injuries against the Pools, so defender Gary Naysmith (broken foot) and midfielder Damien Johnson (knee) are the only absentees. The Terriers missed the chance to move into the top two on Sunday and Clark is looking forward to getting back on track on the south coast. "I was absolutely gutted we missed out on getting into the top two but at least we have a quick turnaround," he told the club`s official website. "We will have to produce a great performance at Southampton and that is what we`re aiming to do."

Match Report
Saints put four past Terriers Southampton powered into play-off contention after thumping high-flying Huddersfield 4-1 in an entertaining tie at St Mary's Stadium. The match began at frenetic pace, Adam Lallana going close inside five minutes for the Saints as his volley was cleared off the line by Peter Clarke, while Alan Lee struck a post for the visitors with a point-blank header on ten minutes. The breakthrough came on 16 minutes when Terriers midfielder Gary Roberts' fizzing left-foot cross was met powerfully by Lee Novak, who headed clinically past a sprawling Kelvin Davis. Saints were level just 12 minutes later, Rickie Lambert latching onto a Dan Harding throw-in to lash home from 18 yards. And three minutes later the home side were ahead, livewire winger Alex Chamberlain jinking into space inside the Huddersfield box before cooly slotting into the bottom left corner. Southampton continued to dominate into the second period and deservedly added a third in the simplest of fashions, Radhi Jaidi rising like a salmon out of water to head home a pinpoint Lallana free-kick on 51 minutes. And the rout was complete twenty minutes from time when on-loan midfielder Richard Chaplow fired a left-foot drive home to hand the dominant Saints all three points.
