Everton are one of the few Premier League sides who can relate to Southampton’s woes in both defence and in front of goal as the season heads into its hectic Christmas schedule.

The Toffees sacked former Saints manager Ronald Koeman last month for overseeing Everton’s poor form, but Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino remains at the club despite a lacklustre start to the season at odds with previous seasons.

Saints will be missing Spanish midfielder Oriol Romeu through suspension, having accumulated five yellow cars. Meanwhile, summer recruit Mario Lemina—who has missed the last three games through injury—could feature if he passes a late fitness test.

Everton are without in-form striker Oumar Niasse as he begins a two-game ban after being adjudged to have dived for a penalty last week against Crystal Palace in a retrospective ruling which was a Premier League first.

Interim manager David Unsworth will also be missing Tom Davies through suspension, while Phil Jagielka and former Saints favourite Morgan Schneiderlin are fitness doubts.

They have failed to score in eight of their last 12 Premier League visits to face Southampton, including four of the last five.

The Toffees' 3-0 victory at St Mary's Stadium in August 2015 is their only win away to Saints in the last 15 years.

Saints have failed to score in their last two games and did not even register a shot on target against Liverpool last weekend.
