In-form Southampton travel to Merseyside to take on Everton in the Premier League this evening.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side are enjoying a brilliant run of form, with Che Adams’ wonderful lob of Ederson sealing victory over deposed champions Manchester City last time out.

Three wins in their last four matches has the Saints pushing for a top-10 finish, while Everton are showing flashes of improvement but also similar flaws.

A drab defeat by Tottenham extinguished any optimistic hopes of securing a place in next season’s Europa League and there is plenty of work yet to do for Carlo Ancelotti.
