Southampton v Everton: match preview

Southampton v Everton
Southampton v Everton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Photograph: x

Everton are feeling good but the scars from last week’s fraught Merseyside derby – Richarlison’s red card and James Rodríguez sustaining an injury leaving him touch and go – mean Carlo Ancelotti’s free-scoring side head to Southampton short of their full armoury. Dominic Calvert-Lewin – the league’s joint-leading scorer – will be keen to continue his impressive form, while another England striker, Southampton’s Danny Ings, will be determined to ensure Jordan Pickford has another busy afternoon.
