Command Analysis
After a victory over Manchester City (2:0) in the EFL Cup, Southampton defeated Everton (2:1) in the Premeir League. The home team are in good form, but they sit bottom of the league table with only 15 points from 19 matches.
The Saints will obviously strive to use their momentum and improve their position in standings. Nathan Jones, who recently became the new head coach for Soton, is hopeful and inspired by his team's success in the past week.
Today, the Saints will have to cope without McCarthy, Walcott, Livramento, Larios, and Bella-Kotchap.
Aston Villa won their last Premier League game, too. They celebrated success over Leeds United (2:1), which was the first home victory of the Villans since the beginning of November.
