Everton notched up three important points in the last match against Bournemouth as they won the encounter 2-0 at Goodison Park. However, things would not be easy when they take on Southampton in their next contest in the Premier League as they travel to St Mary’s Stadium.
The Saints, on the other hand, also won a hard-fought contest against Leicester City in their last outing in the Premier League and would look to keep their winning run in the league intact when they take on the Toffees in their own backyard.
Team News
Everton does not have any injury worries in their squad and therefore would go in with a full-strength squad in their next fixture.
Goalkeeper
Jordan Pickford had a good game against Bournemouth and kept a clean sheet. He would look to repeat the same against the other South Coast club as he starts in the goal vs the Saints.
Defence
The duo of Michael Keane and Kurt Zouma would start in the heart of the backline for the Toffees. Captain Seamus Coleman would retain his place in the team on the right back position and would be accompanied by the in-form left-back Lucas Digne against Southampton on the other flank.
Midfield
Idrissa Gueye and Andre Gomes would start in the central midfield once again. Ademola Lookman, who had a great game against the Cherries, would get the nod ahead of Theo Walcott in the right-hand side of the midfield as Bernard puts in a shift from the left. Gylfi Sigurdsson would start in the attacking midfielder position right behind the striker.
Attack
Richarlison would lead the line for the Toffees against the Saints. Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who scored the second goal to seal the match against the Cherries in the dying minutes, could once again start on the bench.
Predicted Formation: 4-2-3-1
