Southampton go up against Everton in the Premier League 2022-23 at the St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton on Saturday, October 1, 2022. The match will start at 7:30 PM IST (Indian Standard Time).
Following their 2-1 win against Chelsea, Southampton have gone off the boil as they suffered back-to-back defeats in the Premier League. The Saints have failed to keep a clean sheet in four matches on the bounce and have conceded the first goal in six of their last seven matches in all competitions.
Everton’s stock has been on the rise after a forgettable start to their league campaign.

Everton top picks and players to watch vs Southampton Premier League 2022-23
Neal Maupay: Everton’s new summer signing opened his goal-scoring account for the club in the last Premier League match, scoring the winning goal against West Ham United. The Frenchman scored eight goals and two assists for Brighton in the league last season. Maupay’s high-pressing style of play and his movement inside the opposition penalty box are great assets to Everton.
Anthony Gordon: The Everton no. 10 was heavily linked to joining Chelsea in the summer, however, the move did not materialize. Gordon scored against Brentford and Leeds United, helping Everton take a point each out of both games. He also assisted in England U21’s latest win against Germany in the friendly match. Gordon can be a major threat on the counter-attack due to his pace and dribbling abilities.
