Everton vs Southampton Preview

With Liverpool legend Rafa Benitez at the helm, Everton will begin its Premier League campaign against Southampton at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon.

The Toffees began last season red-hot under Carlo Ancelotti, winning their first four top-flight matches before ultimately fading out and finishing 10th, albeit just three points and goal difference from qualifying for European football.

In fact, Southampton was the first side to defeat Everton in 2020/21, claiming a 2-0 victory at St.

Mary’s during late October behind goals from James Ward-Prowse and Che Adams.

The Toffees would respond by winning the reverse fixture between these clubs 1-0 at this venue in March thanks to a Richarlison strike, improving their undefeated streak in EPL home matches against the Saints to 16.

Southampton will be tipped to suffer yet another defeat on Saturday after ending last season in terrible form, winning just four of its final 21 matches.

Furthermore, Southampton’s 2020/21 leading scorer, Danny Ings (12 goals) departed for Aston Villa last week.
