Southampton v Everton: match preview
Southampton are reaping the rewards for keeping faith with Ralph Hasenhüttl after a sluggish start to the season. One defeat in their past 10 matches in all competitions has lifted them into the top half of the Premier League and through to the fifth round of the FA Cup. They will provide a stern test for Frank Lampard’s side, especially considering Southampton have lost only once at home all season while Everton are without an away win since August. Everton’s prospects are not helped by Demarai Gray, Abdoulaye Doucouré, Tom Davies, Yerry Mina, Ben Godfrey and Fabian Delph still being sidelined by injury. Stephen Hollis

Everton v Leeds: match preview
It sounds ridiculously harsh to say that a new manager with a substantial injury list faces a “must-win” game in his third match in charge, but that is precisely the predicament Frank Lampard and Everton are in. Tuesday’s defeat at Newcastle enabled Lampard to see first hand what Evertonians have known for too long – they have an error-prone team lacking in character. An alarming mix for a relegation fight. Leeds, stirring in their recovery at Aston Villa in midweek, can open up a seven-point gap with victory over a side that has taken a pitiful six points from the last 45 available. Andy Hunter
