Phil Jagielka starts a three-match suspension for a straight red card received in Everton's opening match of the season.

Richarlison has been passed fit and Kurt Zouma is available but Andre Gomes and Yerry Mina will miss out.

Southampton are likely to be without Mohamed Elyounoussi (hamstring) but fellow summer signing Stuart Armstrong has recovered from a knock.

Did you know? 

Everton are unbeaten in their last 13 home league matches against Southampton (W9 D4), since a 0-2 defeat in 1997, which remains Southampton's only win in 19 PL visits to Goodison Park (W1 D5 L13).

Everton have lost only one of their last eight home Premier League matches (W4 D3), to Manchester City in March.

Charlie Austin has scored three goals in his three PL appearances against Everton for Southampton, although all have come at home.
