The Goodison Park is the stage for Monday’s solitary game in the Premier League as Everton and Southampton go head-to-head. Read on four our expert tips and predictions.

Southampton were comfortable winners in the reverse match earlier in the season as they saw off 10-man Everton 2-0. Everton slightly edges their opponents regarding their head-to-head record with 12 wins in the last 30 meetings compared to the Saints’ 9. How will this highly-anticipated encounter pan out?

Feisty encounter on the cards

The Toffees still have their sight set on Europe given that they’re just five points from Westham - who are in 4th place- having played a game less. They recorded a monumental victory in the Merseyside derby last time out, beating their local rivals 2-0 for their first Anfield win since 1999.

The Saints, on the flip side, has since fallen from grace as they’re still winless since beating Liverpool at the beginning of the year- a run that has spanned across eight games. They were once again on the losing side of things, this time at the Elland Road, as Leeds United ran out 3-0 winners. Will they put an end to their poor run of form on Monday?
