Deulofeu wins Everton a corner. Southampton clear as Fonte hacks away.

Appeals for hand ball from Gallagher’s cross. Nothing in it really.

Coleman looking dangerous early on for Everton bombing forward down that right flank. Saints fans in understandably good voice.

Now we’ll really see what Everton are made of. That’s a big dent to their Champions league aspirations so early on. Lukaku smashes over from Coleman’s cross. The goal officially timed at 58 seconds.

Everton hadn’t had a touch on the ball and that’s Southampton’s first goal from open play in their last three games.

Referee Michael Oliver blows the whistle to get us underway here at a blustery St Mary's. Everton with that lure of Champions League football a key motivating factor. Could be a cracker.

Five minutes to kick-off here. Match odds: Southampton 9-5, Everton 8-5, draw 5-2.

One of the players to look out for today will be the in-demand Luke Shaw. The Manchester United target has made more appearances (32) than any other current teenager in the Premier League this season.

Roberto Martinez’s side have kept three clean sheets in their last four Premier League games but Southampton have scored four goals in two of their last three home games. Something has to give today.

Rickie Lambert has 10 assists for Southampton this season. Only one player has provided more for the Saints in a single Premier League campaign (Le Tissier twice: 11 in 1992-93 and 15 in 1994-95).

Mauricio Pochettino: "It’s going to be an amazing challenge because we’re going to be facing a team that’s trying to break into the top four. They’re a great side and they’re having a great end to the season as well, but we’re going to try and dominate the game and to win the game with a very good performance against them. I fully admire Roberto Martinez and I admire his career and everything he’s been doing especially now at Everton and it’s going to be very good on Saturday."
