Hello and welcome to the live commentary of the Premier League clash between Everton and Southampton.
Southampton, who are still bottom of the Premier League, have gained some momentum across the two cup competitions over the past week. They knocked Crystal Palace out of the FA Cup before beating Manchester City 2-0 in the EFL Cup to reach the semi-finals. Nathan Jones is still searching for his first league win as Saints manager, having lost his first four.
SUBS: Abdoulaye Doucoure, Tom Davies, Asmir Begovic, Dwight McNeil, Anthony Gordon, Neal Maupay, Ellis Simms, Mason Holgate, Yerry Mina.
SUBS: Wily Caballero, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Joe Aribo, Adam Armstrong, Mislav Orsic, Romain Perraud, Sekou Mara, Moussa Djenepo, Carlos Alcaraz.
The players are making their way out of the tunnel and onto the pitch!
Everton and Frank Lampard are desperate for three points today in order to snap their eight-game winless run. A good result for the Toffees could move them as high up as 13th in the Premier League table, but goals have not come naturally to this side. They have only scored 14 goals in their 18 league games this season, Anthony Gordon and Demarai Gray both leading the way with three goals.
EVERTON (3-5-2): Jordan Pickford; Ben Godfrey, Conor Coady, James Tarkowski; Seamus Coleman, Alex Iwobi, Amadou Onana, Idrissa Gueye, Vitaliy Mykolenko; Demarai Gray, Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
SOUTHAMPTON (3-5-2): Gavin Bazunu; Duje Caleta-Car, Lyanco, Mohammed Salisu; Kyle Walker-Peters, James Ward-Prowse, Romeo Lavia, Ibrahima Diallo, Mohamed Elyounoussi; Samuel Edozie, Che Adams.
Southampton have been threatening when going forward, but Edozie and Adams will need to improve their movement in the final third if the Saints want to make a comeback. Ward-Prowse has been assertive in the box, but needs help around him.
That's all for today, goodbye!
Jones' first Premier League victory as Southampton manager could not come at a better time. Although still bottom, they are now level on points with Everton and West Ham, and just two points behind 14th-place Leicester. The pressure increases on Lampard and Everton as their winless streak extends to nine games. The Saints host Aston Villa in their next Premier League fixture while Everton travel to West Ham.
