Goodison Park hosts its final men’s match on Sunday, as Everton welcome Southampton to Merseyside.

Kick-off is at 12pm BST.

David Moyes makes four changes to the Everton side that beat Fulham 3-1 last time out.

Jake O’Brien replaces Michael Keane, with the defender recovering from the knee injury that sidelined him in Gameweek 36.

Seamus Coleman, Dwight McNeil and Iliman Ndiaye also come in for Ashley Young, who will leave the club at the end of the season, Jack Harrison and Carlos Alcaraz.

Southampton have made two alterations from last weekend’s goalless draw against Manchester City.

Nathan Wood starts in place of Jan Bednarek, who is absent from the matchday squad.

Joe Aribo replaces the benched Lesley Ugochukwu in the other change.

Kyle Walker-Peters remains sidelined.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, O’Brien, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Gueye, Garner, McNeil, Doucoure, Ndiaye, Beto

Subs: Virginia, Patterson, Keane, Calvert-Lewin, Harrison, Chermiti, Young, Alcaraz, Iroegbunam

Southampton XI: Ramsdale, Harwood-Bellis, Wood, Stephens, Bree, Downes, Aribo, Welington, Dibling, Fernandes, Sulemana

Subs: McCarthy, Manning, Sugawara, Kayi-Sanda, Ugochukwu, Smallbone, Robinson, Archer, Stewart

      Southampton don't attack or go forward. Guaranteed clean sheet for Everton.

    Young On Coleman Off

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      unconfirmed rumors that Young is older than Everton's stadium

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        And just as cheap.

    2. BeaversWithAttitude

      6 months, 28 days ago

      Seamus Coleman has put in some good innings at Everton – was this his last? Respect to the Toffees/Republic of Ireland captain!

      1. Goro Majima
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        Moyes has said they want to keep him for next season.

  11. Magic Zico

    For final GW, would you rather have:
    A. KDB (ful)
    B. Rogers (mun)
    C. Elanga (CHE)

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      KDB for nostalgia

  12. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    6 months, 28 days ago

    Beto playing like prime Thierry Henry

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Typical. Wife's rival has Moyes AM and Beto.

  13. JBG
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 28 days ago

    Need a CS here... Southampton will probably score 2 and Pickford will get a RC

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Guaranteed clean sheet, 2nd half will be played at a testimonial pace

  14. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    6 months, 28 days ago

    Beto offside goal

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Almost brought him on, but went with (T)Watkins instead. Was worried Beto suddenly got dropped for the male model.

      1. Vazza
        • 5 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        Male model?

        1. keefy59
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 28 days ago

          DCL

  15. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 28 days ago

    Will any of these players miss out?

    Sels
    Gvardiol Dias Munoz
    Salah Saka Mbeumo Roger
    Isak Wissa Marmoush
    Raya KONSA Sarr Saliba

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Any of the City players might

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        Can’t see it, they have no one else

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Who knows with the Man City players? Could be some Pep Roulette

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        They need to win and he has no one to replace them with

        1. Vazza
          • 5 Years
          6 months, 28 days ago

          Ok cannot see anyone being dropped - happy?

  16. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    6 months, 28 days ago

    Beto offside again

  17. Vazza
    • 5 Years

  18. HollywoodXI
    • 11 Years

    I captained Beto. This is painful.

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

  19. Vazza
    • 5 Years

  20. gooberman

    Everton clean locked in. Southampton haven't had a single shot. Pathetic team.

  21. JBG
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 28 days ago

    This GW I need Mbuemo AND Salah to be quiet... so boring and annoying.

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      I agree with the latter but not former.

  22. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    6 months, 28 days ago

    Beto looks posessed

  23. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years

      1. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        now awarded to McNeil. justice finally

    3. BazingtoN
        6 months, 28 days ago

        looks like the assist from McNeil has been wiped off and i don't know why

        1. Sgt. Schultz
          • 9 Years
          6 months, 28 days ago

          oh didn't notice that. sorry!
