Southampton vs Everton: Premier League match preview
Ronald Koeman’s Southampton looking to give fans something to cheer about after a miserable five weeks
Southampton will go into Saturday’s fixture looking for their first win in five weeks after their sensational start to the Premier League season came to a sudden end with a poor run of form which has seen them without a win in their last six games.
Everton have had an indifferent first-half of the season which has seen them win five, lose five and draw six.
Southampton will be without Dusan Tadic and Jake Hesketh whilst top-scorer Graziano Pellè remains a doubt with injury.
