SOUTHAMPTON PREVIEW: CUP QUARTER-FINAL BUT LEAGUE WOES CONTINUE
The wait for a Premier League win goes on for Southampton as, despite being showered with praise from opposition manager Pep Guardiola, the Saints ultimately lost 1-0 to the champions last weekend and they sit bottom of the table with just a single point to show for their efforts.
There was some respite in the Carabao Cup midweek though, with the Saints fending off the challenge of Championship outfit Stoke to make it into the quarter-finals.
EVERTON PREVIEW: UNBEATEN IN FIVE
Substitute Beto scored an injury-time equaliser against Fulham last weekend to extend Everton's unbeaten run to five games and there is now a healthy five-point buffer between themselves and the relegation zone heading into the weekend.
With just one goal conceded in their last three games, Sean Dyche is imprinting his usual solid-at-the-back style on the Toffees, but Dominic Calvert-Lewin's poor form in front of goal is something of a concern right now with the 27-year-old having failed to score in his last five games.

SOUTHAMPTON VS EVERTON PREDICTION
If Southampton are to have any hope of surviving in the Premier League - a prospect that is looking increasingly unlikely as the weeks go by - then they simply have to be winning fixtures like this, especially at home.
However, Everton are much-improved of late and will see this as a winnable contest themselves. With the Toffees' new-found solidity at the back, this is an encounter that could be short of goals so consider under 2.5 in this one.
SOUTHAMPTON VS EVERTON TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
