Two of the biggest strugglers this season square off as bottom-of-the-table Southampton travel to Merseyside. More than just three points could be on the line with both managers — Everton's Frank Lampard in particular — feeling the pressure of recent results.

Everton are a club in crisis and fans are understandably unhappy with the manager, board and beyond at Goodison Park. Frank Lampard’s side have lost four of the last five games and look to be sinking down the league table.
Nathan Jones recorded a shock first win as Southampton's manager against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup, but he is still winless in the league and the team is currently rock bottom of the Premier League. Despite all of their troubles, however, both sides could still climb out of the drop zone with a win in this fixture and favorable results elsewhere. The Everton vs Southampton live stream is a must-win match for both sides, and that should make for thrilling viewing.

Everton vs Southampton preview
Aside from grabbing a hard-fought point against Manchester City at the Etihad on New Year’s Eve, Everton have looked lost since football resumed after the World Cup. Expensive losses to teams also in the relegation battle, 3-0 against Bournemoth and 2-1 at home to Wolves in particular have seen the side's confidence crumble. While the likes of James Tarkowski and Connor Coady have looked impressive in defence, Everton’s main problems have been at the other end of the pitch. Anthony Gordon and Demarai Gray are the top scorers with just three strikes each, with Richarlison joining Tottenham in the summer and star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin injury prone and lacking confidence, goals are hard to come by at Goodison Park. Everton’s home form has been their strength in recent seasons, but another home defeat could cost Frank Lampard his job.
Eyebrows were raised when Nathan Jones was appointed as Ralph Hassenhuttl’s successor at Southampton, with the Welshman joining from Luton Town having never managed in the Premier League before. Although he has not yet secured even a point in the Premier League, he has had some success in cup competitions. With newfound confidence thanks to a Carabao Cup win over heavy favorites Manchester City, Jones will be hoping that his young squad (the second youngest in the Premier League) will be bouncing into a key clash in the relegation battle. Southampton have only scored one more goal than their opponents but have one of the most porous defenses in the competition, having conceded 33 goals in 18 league games. At least in captain James Ward-Prowse they have one of the best set-piece takers in football, which could be crucial against Everton.
This match is a fight for Premier League survival and could be decisive come the end of the season, expect a tense affair with lots of drama. All signs point to the Everton vs Southampton live stream being a fantastic watch.
