Mooy's club, Huddersfield, gave their survival chances a major boost with a hard-fought goalless draw away to champions Manchester City last weekend.

However, Southampton's narrow 1-0 win over Swansea this morning, combined with Huddersfield's poor goal difference, means that the Terriers must pick up a point from their remaining two matches to be sure of their spot in next season's top tier.

Those fixtures look seriously daunting, with a trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea tomorrow morning, followed by a home game against a resurgent Arsenal side fresh off a 5-0 demolition of Burnley.

The Gunners will be keen to send manager Arsene Wenger out on a high in his final match in charge and if the Terriers lose both matches, while Swansea triumph at home to already-relegated Stoke on Sunday, Mooy's boys will drop down to the Championship next season.

Southampton's victory at Swansea - courtesy of Manolo Gabbiadini's scrappy 72nd-minute goal - relegated 19th-placed West Bromwich Albion while effectively securing their own safety.

The Saints leapfrogged Huddersfield into 16th place. Both clubs now sit on 36 points, three points clear of Swansea in the drop-zone, but Southampton have a goal difference of -18 compared to Huddersfield's -29. Swansea's is -27.

Mooy will be central to the Terriers' desperate push for safety, having started each of the club's last seven matches. However, the Socceroos midfielder is currently enduring a five-month goal drought, having last found the net back in December, and is without an assist since February.

Huddersfield lost both of their reverse fixtures against Chelsea and Arsenal, 3-1 and 5-0 respectively.

They may be more confident of securing that all-important point on the final day. Chelsea beat Champions League finalists Liverpool at home in their last match, while the Gunners are without a single domestic away win in 2018.

At the very start of the season, it looked unlikely that Huddersfield would come to find themselves in this position - they won each of their first three games and briefly topped the table, with the dynamic Mooy leading the charge.

However, his club could not sustain that early momentum and three wins since the turn of the year have created a nervous climax to their first season in England's top-flight since 1971-72.
