The pressure on Russell Martin appears to be increasing every week, as the Southampton boss is now the favorite to be the next manager fired following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal at Man United.
Southampton come into the round sitting bottom of the Premier League standings, and they have lost each of their last four matches in the competition.
Things are beginning to look up for Everton. Sean Dyche has led the Toffees on a five-game unbeaten sequence, winning twice in their last four. A victory on Saturday could put them within striking distance of the top half of the standings.
Odds
Southampton are narrowly preferred on the moneyline at +165 to claim victory this weekend. A win for Everton is priced up at +171, with the draw available at +246.

It’s hard to separate these sides based on the recent league meetings. Southampton have won two of the last three, while Everton have landed victories in three of the last five.
Everton were 2-1 winners on their last trip to St Mary’s in October 2022. However, that was their first win in three recent visits.

The Toffees have already shown the importance of Premier League experience in these big relegation six-pointers this term after dominating against Ipswich a couple of weeks ago.
This match could follow a very similar pattern, with the Toffees preferred to pile the pressure on Martin.
