David Moyes will be naming the Everton playing eleven against Southampton for the final game at Goodison Park.
It is going to be a full house on Sunday, 18 May, as the Evertonians will cheer their side on for another win at their famous old ground.
The mood will certainly be electric and the Toffees are riding high after their 3-1 win over Fulham.

Abdoulaye Doucoure could be among those dropped by Moyes
Moyes will be looking to ring in changes and perhaps go as offensive as he can in order to secure the three points.
Despite the win against Fulham last time around, Jack Harrison struggled on the right and this could be the ideal game to bring back Iliman Ndiaye to the playing eleven.

Dwight McNeil, who also plays on the right, has enjoyed success playing as the number 10 and could come in place of Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Everton secured the three points against Fulham.
He will offer more of a goal threat than the Mali international, so Moyes could look to start him.
The other change for Everton could come in the middle of the park, with it being a toss-up between Idrissa Gueye and Timothy Iroegbunam.
The latter has not had as many minutes this season and has done decently off the bench to merit a start.
In defence, Jake O’Brien should be fit and return to the right-back role he’s made his own under the Scotsman.
Ashley Young started the previous one, but the Republic of Ireland international is certainly better suited to that position.
Everton v Southampton
Everton should get the job done against Southampton
The Toffees are expected to secure a comfortable victory against Southampton at Goodison Park due to their recent form and the emotional weight of the occasion.
Under Moyes, the Toffees have stabilised, climbing to mid-table with a confidence-boosting 3-1 win over Fulham last weekend.
Facing a historically poor Southampton side, who, despite slight improvement under Simon Rusk, only narrowly avoided the Premier League’s lowest points record, Everton hold the advantage.
The Toffees’ strong home support, fueled by the final men’s game at Goodison, combined with a relatively healthy squad, positions them to capitalise on Southampton’s defensive frailties and deliver a memorable farewell performance.
