Southampton's intensity seems to have caught Everton by surprise as Leighton Baines's free-kick is headed clear and the visitors are immediately pressed back deep into their own half. There's no chance the Saints players will be whipping out the deck-chairs for the beach just yet.

Ash: (external) Chuks Aneke and Chuba Akpom at Arsenal are real talents! Ones to watch for the future.
Mark: (external) All of the Reading Under-21 team that won the first ever Premier League Cup against Manchester City recently.
Martin: (external) James Wilson in the Man Utd U21s. Watched him on Thursday night at the Madjeski, extremely quick and scored a good goal.

Southampton 1-0 Everton
Victor Wanyama is bossing the midfield battles this afternoon, keeping Southampton on the front foot, and it takes another good interception from John Stones to nick the ball away from Adam Lallana as the playmaker breaks into the box. Without the steadying influence of Sylvain Distin or Phil Jagielka, Everton look shaky at the back.

Analysis Southampton 1-0 Everton
BBC Radio 5 live summariser Mark McGhee at St Mary's Stadium: "I expected a goal there, Davis slid it just beyond the far post when really he wants to put his laces through it and at least work the goalkeeper. It's a good counter-attack and a good move from Southampton, but that really should have been a goal."

Rezaa: (external) Look no further than Liverpool's Jon Flanagan. Absolutely magnificent. Superb in big games, definitely one for the future.
Scott: (external) Might be slated for this but since January I think Flanagan has been better than Luke Shaw.
Firas: (external) Lewis Baker is going to be a quality player! He's got everything - goals, vision, set piece quality. Did you see his recent goal for Chelsea?

Southampton 1-0 Everton
Southampton are cutting Everton to shreds at the moment - Rickie Lambert again getting free down the left and picking out Steve Davis's run from midfield but the Northern Ireland international blazes wide. Work the keeper!

Southampton 1-0 Everton
Good stuff from Southampton this. First Jack Cork sees his shot saved by Tim Howard before an Everton counter-attack is expertly snuffed out by Nathaniel Clyne who turns defence into attack with one tackle and subsequent surge forward.

HALF-TIME Burnley 0-0 Ipswich
It remains goalless after a stodgy first half at Turf Moor. Burnley are playing with far more appetite than Ipswich had hoped they might, given promotion has already been secured, but neither team has truly threatened to score. Indeed, the only save made was a comfortable clutch by Ipswich's Dean Gerken after a tame Danny Ings shot. Given that the visitors need a victory to maintain their slim play-off hopes, expect a more ambitious second-half performance.

Tarn: (external) Jordan Rossiter is a 16-year old Gerrard in the Liverpool youth team.
Shane: (external) Matt Targett on the bench for Southampton was touted to be better than Luke Shaw! Josh Sims and Jake Hesketh are two to keep an eye for soon too.

Southampton 1-0 Everton
The St Mary's groundsman looks like he's been chasing a dog around on his lawnmower this week. The pattern of the turf is a bit different, but it works. Whatever it looks like, it's certainly conducive to some slick passing play and Everton almost unlock Southampton but Gerard Deulofeu's shot doesn't really trouble Artur Boruc.

Southampton 1-0 Everton
Steven Naismith evades Luke Shaw down the Everton right but the Southampton full-back gets back well to put the ball out for a corner. A small moment in the grand scheme of the game but proof, if any was needed, that Shaw is just as capable defending as he is going forward.
Ed: (external) If Alcaraz has to play the rest of the season for Everton, they can kiss goodbye to fourth. Awful defender.
Neil: (external) What's the record for goals scored in the first minute of a Premier League season?
Adam: (external) Stunning diving header from Alcaraz. Top finish.

Southampton 1-0 Everton
These two are slugging it out from the off - first Seamus Coleman tries to respond to Southampton's opener by charging down the right and Romelu Lukaku eventually blazes over before, at the other end, Sam Gallagher jinks into the box and drills a low cross at a diving John Stones. He wants a penalty. He doesn't get one.
