Saints defender Maya Yoshida has to leave the pitch with a head injury briefly and Everton win another corner. Johnny Heitinga has a free header but can only direct it straight at Paulo Gazzaniga.
8'
Long throw by Phil Neville flicked on by Marouane Fellaini and Nikica Jelavic is just unable to get a diving header on it. Well defended.
7'
That has quietened the home fans, but their men look to respond by winning a throw.

GOAL! GASTON RAMIREZ! 1-0 to Southampton: The corner to the far post is completely missed by Tim Howard and the Uruguayan's header is a simple one!
6'
Spell of possession from Southampton as they look to play the ball down the left. And they have a corner here.
5'
The away side have failed to win in their last seven PL trips to the North-west, losing five.
4'
Seamus Coleman attacks from near halfway but his cross from the byline is sliced just over the bar - the ball rolled across the face of the Everton defender's foot as he crossed while falling.
3'
At the other end Nathaniel Clyne curls a cross in but there is no one there and it runs out for a goal-kick. Good atmosphere on Merseyside.
2'
Excellent football from Everton to find Leighton Baines on the left. His cross is headed out and Kevin Mirallas blazes a sliced volley high and wide.

Southampton are looking to win back-to-back PL matches for the first time since beating Tottenham and Middlesbrough in March 2005.
14:45
Everton have 10 points from their first five matches in the PL this season – their best points total at this stage since 2007-08.
14:40
Southampton have not won in their last five Premier League matches against Everton. Their last win (1-0) came in September 2002 through a Marian Pahars penalty. The fixture has seen two of Southampton’s heaviest PL defeats. They lost 8-0 in 1971 while losing 7-1 in 1996. Gary Speed scored a hat-trick that day.
14:32
Frazer Richardson and Jay Rodriguez come into the starting line up for Saints, with Jason Puncheon dropping to the bench. Morgan Schneiderlin is sidelined along with Jack Cork and Tadanari Lee. New signing Artur Boruc is not in the squad as he continues to work towards match fitness.
14:31
Nikica Jelavic returns to Everton's starting line-up. Having made six changes for the midweek Capital One Cup tie at Leeds, David Moyes almost reverts to the side that smashed Swansea, with the Croatian international striker replacing Victor Anichebe in the only change.
