Stat Pack: Everton vs Saints

 - Southampton have exactly the same record at the halfway point of the Premier League season under Claude Puel, as they did last season under Ronald Koeman (P19 W6 D6 L7, 24 points).

 - Everton are unbeaten in their last 11 home Premier League games against Southampton (W8 D3), conceding just six goals in that time.

- Saints won the reverse of this fixture in November thanks to Charlie Austin's 1st minute goal - and will be looking to beat Everton twice in the same league season for the first time since the 1997-98 campaign.

- Everton have lost just one of their last 12 Premier League games at Goodison Park (W6 D5), although that defeat came last time out to rivals Liverpool.

- Everton have won just three of their last 14 Premier League matches - losing twice as many games in this period (W3 D5 L6).

- Ronald Koeman has won 27 points in his first 19 Premier League games as Everton manager in the Premier League; six fewer than he'd won at this stage in to his tenure at Southampton (33 points).

- Romelu Lukaku has only scored one goal in 12 Premier League appearances for Everton in the month of January (960 minutes).

- Leighton Baines has been involved in more goals than any other defender in Premier League history (78 - 29 goals, 49 assists). He also needs one more assist to be the first defender to reach 50 in the Premier League.

- Southampton have lost their last two Premier League games - they haven't lost three in a row since December 2014 (four in succession).

 - Dušan Tadić has created 33 goalscoring chances this season in the Premier League, but Shane Long's header against West Brom is the first of those that has been converted.
