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
