The Everton vs Southampton live stream will showcase one of several Premier League 21/22 games this weekend, all opening the new season for their respective teams.
For Everton in particular, this will not just be the first match of the campaign, but a tribute. At the 4-minute mark, the game will pause to allow for a minute's applause in memory of former player and assistant manager Jimmy Gabriel, who passed away in July at the age of 80.
The Everton vs Southampton live stream takes place today (Saturday, August 14).

After the shock loss of former manager Carlo Ancelotti, now replaced by ex-Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez, Everton have reinforced their attack with wingers Demarai Gray and Andros Townsend, and both start today. Combined with a full crowd at Goodison Park, the venue's first in 17 months, the hosts will look to start the 21/22 with a statement victory.
Southampton, where Gabriel also spent several years as a player, will also seek improvements after finishing the 20/21 season just three places outside the relegation zone. That may not be so easy after the departure of prolific striker Danny Ings to Aston Villa, but Everton will still need to be wary of dead-ball specialist James Ward-Prowse as a goal threat. Adam Armstrong and Tino Livramento both make their debuts for the Saints, while Theo Walcott will face his former team.
Here's how they line up:
Everton: Pickford; Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Digne; Townsend, Doucoure, Allan, Gray; Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.
Southampton: McCarthy; Perraud, Stephens, Salisu, Livramento; Djenepo, Ward-Prowse, Romeo, Walcott; Adams, Armstrong.
