Everton won the reverse fixture 2-1 with goals from Tom Davies and Richarlison. Team News Mason Holgate and Alex Iwobi have joined the list of injury doubts for Everton.  

Southampton Form

They have kept clean sheets in two of those wins but have conceded two or more in four of their five defeats. Southampton recorded a surprise 1-0 victory over Manchester City to close the gap on the top ten. That win makes it three wins in four since the restart with their only defeat coming against Arsenal after going down to ten men. Danny Ings scored in their reverse fixture with Everton back in November. Team News Jannick Vestergaard, Jan Valery, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and Sofiane Boufal are expected to miss out.
