Southampton vs Everton prediction and odds: Frank Lampard's side tipped for tough task at St Mary's

Everton's escape plan from this season's relegation battle needs to be executed sooner rather than later as they prepare to travel to the south coast to face Southampton.

The Toffees are 13/5 with Grosvenor Sport while Southampton are 21/20 and a draw is 5/2.

Frank Lampard's side are just four points above the relegation but a top-half finish is feasible but they will need to get the results in sharpish.

They maybe 16th but Lampard's team are just seven points behind their hosts and have two games-in-hand as well to consider.

A return to winning ways in the league against Leeds United last weekend is the perfect start for what could be a revival for the club's season.
