STREAM LIVE EVERTON – SOUTHAMPTON
Everton will be flying after their win at Liverpool last time out but Carlo Ancelotti has warned against complacency as they have struggled at home this season. Some big players will be fit to start as the Toffees are still in the top four hunt as we enter the business end of the season.
As for Ralph Hasenhuttl and Southampton, they’ve slid alarmingly down the table after seven defeats in their last eight and injuries and poor mistakes have piled up. Saints did beat Everton early this season and they will need Danny Ings to fire them towards a win which would ease any lingering fears of being sucked into the relegation battle.

Prediction
It’s tough to see anything other than an Everton win but Saints are scrapping away and will be desperate to get something. They match up well tactically against Everton, but the Toffees will have too much quality in attack. Everton 2-1 Southampton.
