• Venue: St. Mary’s Stadium, England

Everton will travel to Southampton for their 10th game of the 2024/25 Premier League season at St. Mary’s Stadium. The Toffees will aim to continue their six-match unbeaten run in the English top-flight.

Hosts Southampton made their return to the Premier League this season and are still searching for their win in the domestic league. Russell Martin’s men have sustained painful losses since the start of the campaign but are coming off a 3-2 win over Stoke City in the Carabao Cup. The Saints who are expected to continue with their turbulent form are rooted in the bottom of the table and have not kept a clean sheet in all competitions this season.

Meanwhile, Everton would want to continue with their unbeaten streak in the English top-flight and claim a crucial three points against a struggling home side. It has been a mixed start so far for Sean Dyche’s men this season.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton)

Southampton vs Everton Prediction

Southampton are not favourites for this tie as they are sitting at the bottom of the league standings with just one point after nine games. The Saints have lost all but one of their nine games and have failed to keep a clean sheet in each one of those games. A Premier League return after a robust Championship campaign has been anything but smooth for Russell Martin’s men.

As for Everton, they are missing some crucial players in this tie but could be back on track against a side who have suffered immensely since their return to the English top flight. Sean Dyche’s men have picked up nine points from their last five Premier League matches but they are still only five points after the relegation zone.

Predicted Score: Southampton 1-1 Everton
