Everton play host to Southampton on Sunday afternoon in a game that promises to spark emotion at Goodison Park.
Two games remain in the Premier League for Everton, who have enjoyed a massive upturn in form ever since the arrival of David Moyes.
Southampton will visit Goodison Park in the first of those remaining encounters, with Everton expected to pick up all three points against one of the worst sides in Premier League history.
However, Sunday’s game will be far from a dead rubber, with plenty to look out for on Merseyside.

Goodison Park farewell to be marked with parting gift to supporters
Goodison Park has been the home of Everton since 1892, but Sunday’s clash with Southampton will be the last Premier League game ever to be played there ahead of their move to the Hill Dickinson stadium.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
Everton are favourites to win against the Saints, and that will be a good parting gift in itself, but supporters are set to receive something far more material to say goodbye to their home.
Toffees supporters will be gifted a commemorative scarf detailing all of the significant moments to have occurred at Goodison, in a very nice tough by those in charge.
Everton fans are also encouraged to wear blue for the game, to ensure that there is a sea of home colour to mark the final game.

Tony Bellew to host post-match celebration at Goodison
The occasion of Sunday’s game will stretch far beyond the 90 minutes during which the ball is in play, with an on-pitch celebration due to take place after the full-time whistle.
Tony Bellew will host it alongside Gethin Jones, as the Toffees look to celebrate the end of an era at Goodison Park.
First team players and those who have donned the famous blue in the past will be a part of the celebrations, with all fans urged to remain in the stands to watch.
It promises to be an emotional occasion, especially for those who have seen this place as their second home over the years.

Everton are parting ways with Ashley Young
This summer is going to be a crucial one for Everton, with several incoming expected to be matched with several outgoings, and Ashley Young will be one of them.
Everton have announced that the 39-year-old will be leaving at the end of the campaign when his contract expires, meaning the clash with Southampton will be his final home appearance for the Toffees.

Young isn’t expected to retire, despite the fact that he turns 40 this year, but he will be remembered for his service for the Toffees ever since arriving in 2023.
Under David Moyes and Sean Dyche, Young has made 30 Premier League appearances this season, with two more expected ahead of the end of the campaign.
