Sunday’s events continue with both Merseyside teams in action as Everton host Leicester City at Goodison and Liverpool make the testing trip to the south coast to take on Southampton.

It’s four home matches without a win for Everton as they host Nigel Pearson’s Foxes – a team that have lost four on the bounce going into today’s meeting. Leighton Baines, who’d notched assists in two of his last five appearances before succumbing to injury, is back in contention after being passed fit by Roberto Martinez on Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku has registered a solitary goal in the past 11 Gameweeks, but heads into this fixture with momentum, having recorded his first hat-trick for the Toffees in their midweek Europa tie. Likewise, the Belgian’s opposite number, Andrej Kramaric, arrives in fine fettle having netted in the Leicester’s past two matches in all competitions.

Gameweek 26 concludes with a clash between Champions League hopefuls Southampton and Liverpool at St Mary’s Stadium, as Brendan Rodgers’ unit attempt to extend their unbeaten run to 10 league matches. Daniel Sturridge has delivered a goal and two assists in three appearances since recovering from injury, whilst fit-again Raheem Sterling has notched two goals and assists in his previous six league matches. The Reds face a tough task in breaching a Saints backline that has served up a clean sheet in eight of their 13 St Mary’s matches, though, whilst Ronald Koeman will be desperate for Graziano Pelle to get amongst the goals to end an eight-match barren run.

      Agreed.

  2. Beavis

    Sterling goal.

  3. Cousin Greg
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling goal

  4. Lucy.
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

  5. Kurtinho

  6. Forza

    • 11 Years

    Moreno assist or too big a deflection?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No assist

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Way too big. Targett error

    3. Game of Stones
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't be suprised to see it given...

    4. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say no assist. You couldn't get a larger single deflection.

    5. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Off Target.

    6. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      If it was ADM it would be given, but no.

  8. Seb Wassell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Liverpool getting away with it. Fair play for taking the chances.

  9. Nobodinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Is that counted as an assist?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No.

  10. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling 😉

    We've been lucky today but Southampton don't have that X factor

  11. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    2-0

  12. Bojaninho
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

        • 15 Years
        11 years, 2 months ago

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years

  17. Clump
    • 11 Years

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No assist probably or Moreno.

  18. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Forster.. 🙁

  19. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Forster should have saved.

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Overrated I think.

  20. leo_messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    meh..my rival has him...

  21. Lucy.
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    We could play another 90 mins and we wouldn't score.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Don't worry. GJ and Lovren are playing...

  22. Kurtinho
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Oh feck Glen Johnson is on 😮

  23. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Go on Raheem, you footballing R2D2.

  24. Ramboo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Guess im not getting a lucky Moreno assist? Just the unlucky lack of CS points for him?

  25. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    3 shots
    2 on target

    Smash and grab

  26. The Manbearpig
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Forster is the most over rated GK in the league, hands down

  27. Tony Warner Fan Club
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 2 months ago

    ahhh, the sense of relief. It's like that dump following on from a massive kebab the night before.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Dat feel 😎

  28. Captain Shirokov

    Clinical, Soton could learn a lot from Liverpool.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Over simplification - but I know what you mean. I think Sterling was lucky. Forster was at fault.

    2. Bojaninho
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Clinical?
      One wonder strike fair enough, one gift from saints and a lucky a goal. Next to the stone wall pen they should have had!

      Yes they need some clinical finishing though
