David Moyes has named his lineup for Everton’s penultimate Premier League clash of the season against Southampton.
Everton are set to host Southampton in a game that means very little in terms of the season, but plenty in terms of history.
This encounter will be the last ever Premier League game to be played at Goodison Park before the Toffees move to their new home at Bramley-Moore, and Moyes will be keen to end their stay on a high.
With that in mind, the Scotsman has named his starting 11, with four changes made from their win against Fulham.

Everton make four changes v Southampton
Everton are the favourites for the clash against the Saints, and they will have the added incentive to go on and seal all three points, given the occasion.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
In order to achieve that, Moyes has made four changes which see Seamus Coleman, Iliman Ndiaye and Dwight McNeil all come back into the starting 11, in place of Ashley Young, Jack Harrison and Carlos Alcaraz.
Michael Keane also drops out in favour of a return for Jake O’Brien in the heart of defence.
Alcaraz’s omission comes as a surprise given his display against Fulham, and it could prove to be a costly absence if the Toffees don’t get off to a good start.
As for Young, he will have to wait for his opportunity to say goodbye to the home support from the bench, having announced that he is leaving Everton at the end of the season.
Moyes set to make history with the Toffees
It will be an emotional day on Merseyside, but hopefully one that ends with plenty of celebrations.
Everton ground Capacity
Goodison Park 39,572
Hill Dickinson 52,888
The difference in capacity between Everton’s current and new ground.
Everton have called Goodison Park their home since 1892, and for the final game to be upon us is something that will be remembered for years to come.
To mark it with a win would be fitting, given the number of memorable moments to have occurred within the stadium, and there may be no better team to face than Southampton to achieve that, given their dreadful record in the Premier League this season.
