Southampton vs Everton

The Toffees, have been a little bit of a mystery this season. As of today, they sit 18th on the table with only 6 goals scored through 8 matches. Only Watford and Newcastle have scored less. This is a precarious spot for one of the larger clubs in England to be in and it will be interesting to see if they will be able to turn it around before they face off with Southampton.

Before the season started I would have looked at this fixture and thought it would have been a tough one for Saints to win. Now, I believe it is one they should win, especially at home and especially if Everton continue to play as they have.

It will likely be a low-scoring affair so if the Saints can limit their mistakes in the back they will be able to bag a goal or two and take all three points from Everton.

Southampton 1-0 Everton
