Jones knows prediction
All eyes will be on Everton here. Traditionally, you would think the Toffees would be vulnerable trying to save a famous win like they did at Anfield. Lose this one and that historic victory is toned down a bit.
It is relevant that eight of Everton’s 12 Premier League wins this season have come a long way from Goodison – only 35% of the points have come home (14/40). I wouldn’t touch them in Evens against a dangerous Saints team.
Yes, they’ve only won one of their last 13 Premier League games since mid-December, but Ralph Hasenhutt’s boys level up when needed, as seen by beating Liverpool and drawing a draw. with Chelsea.
I expect a lot of bite in the midfield in this one with Tom Davies improving quickly against a Saints side playing very aggressively in the middle with James Ward-Prowse at the forefront. of their game.
Davies was sensational in the victory at Anfield with a destructive and tactically astute performance in front of his expertly organized defense. No player has made more tackles than Davies (5) and no Everton player has taken possession of his team more chances (8). Carlo Ancelotti makes the most of the midfielder in Allan’s absence and 11/4 with Sky Bet to make four or more tackles looks good to me.
JONES KNOWS THE FORECAST: 1-1
BETTING ANGLE: Tom Davies to make four or more tackles (11/4 with Sky Bet)

Everton won their first league game at Anfield since 1999 and Jamie Carragher says that historically speaking the Toffees have never had the thrill of the derby, so the credit for the victory must go to Carlo Ancelotti.
