The Premier League has one final round of exciting fixtures before the international break.
Southampton are embroiled in a jam-packed relegation battle and will face a stiff challenge when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday.
Saints have boosted their survival hopes this month with a win over Leicester City and a draw at Manchester United, but still find themselves at the bottom of the table.
Spurs are holding onto fourth place and have their eyes on leapfrogging third-place Manchester United, who only sit two points above them. Spurs have three wins in their last four Premier League matches, although all three came at home. Antonio Conte’s side will need points on the road if they want to move up the table.
The tide has turned for Chelsea with solid wins in their last two Premier League matches and they welcome Everton to Stamford Bridge looking to keep momentum going.
A massive win over Brentford moved Everton up to 15th spot, but still only one point above the relegation zone. Everton’s bid to avoid relegation last season was boosted by a 1-0 victory over Chelsea, and a similar result could be just as crucial for Sean Dyche’s side this time too.
