Everton will look to build on their first win of the season against West Ham as they travel to St. Mary’s to face Southampton this afternoon.
Neal Maupay crashed in his first goal for the Toffees to give Frank Lampard’s side all three points at Goodison Park against David Moyes’ men.
The victory ensured Everton would not spend the duration of the international break in the bottom three and put them level on points with today’s opponents Southampton.
The Saints have experienced an inconsistent start to the new season, accumulating seven points from their opening seven matches.
