Everton take to the field of Goodison Park for the final time in their Premier League clash against Southampton on Sunday.
Thankfully for the Toffees, David Moyes has turned everything around at Everton since his return to Goodison, taking any jeopardy when it comes to relegation out of this game.
That being said, while Everton will be keen to say goodbye to their home of so many years, going out on a high will certainly be made easier with a victory over the lowest-ranked Premier League side.

Everton set to say goodbye to Goodison in style
Although Everton sat just one point above the relegation zone upon Moyes‘ return to Merseyside, the Blues are now safely 13th in the Premier League instead.
Despite a significant improvement, their form of late has taken a bit of a dip with one win in their last four for the Toffees.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
Nevertheless, it was a convincing 3-1 against Fulham last weekend that put Everton back on track and gives them momentum ahead of the big game.
Meanwhile, Southampton have won just two Premier League games this season, the most recent against Ipswich Town at the start of February.

That being said, last time out, the Saints earned a point against Manchester City, so Moyes’ men cannot underestimate their opponents.
The odds are on the home side to say goodbye to Goodison on a high, though, as the Opta supercomputer has given the Toffees a 63.9 per cent chance of victory.
In fact, Everton are unlikely to walk away empty-handed, with a draw the second most likely outcome with a 19.9 per cent chance.
Southampton only have a 16.2 per cent chance of taking all three points.

Moyes to give Everton hope ahead of new era
It is bound to be an emotional day on Merseyside as Everton take to the Goodison Park pitch one final time, given the amount of history the stadium holds.
However, the Toffees are making the move to Bramley-Moore Dock safely as a Premier League side and under new owners who are set to invest in the squad much more.
Furthermore, Moyes is someone who knows the Merseyside outfit well and has been convincing in his abilities to deliver what is needed to improve.
With Goodison set to become the home of Everton women, it also allows supporters to continue visiting their old stomping ground.
Let’s hope this weekend delivers one last win in the Premier League.
