Southampton have won only one of their last six league games and their former manager Ronald Koeman returns to the south coast for the first time as Everton look to turn around a recent dip in form.

Koeman is not the only one returning to the side on the south coast after Toffees keeper Maarten Stekelenburg returns after a loan spell at Southampton last season.
