Everton vs Southampton Prediction
The Toffees have been in solid form at home against the Saints, unbeaten in their last 17 meetings. Both teams have been in poor form recently in the league, though.
While Southampton have won their last two games across competitions, they have a poor record at their northern rivals, which could be key. Considering the recent form of both teams, a low-scoring draw could ensue.
