Southampton then host Leicester City before facing Manchester United, Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur.
Selles joined Southampton in June last year, having previously been an assistant manager at FC Copenhagen, where he helped the Danish club win their first league title in three years and qualify for the knockout stages of the UEFA Conference League as group winners.
The 39-year-old has also worked as a youth coach at Valencia and Villarreal.
