Virtual Full Squad For The Trip To Everton
Mark Hughes will have virtually a full squad to pick from when he takes his team to Goodison Park on Saturday needing at least a point if Saints are to survive.
Avoiding defeat at Goodison is crucial for Saints if they are to beat the drop and the good news is that there are no new injury concerns for Mark Hughes.
The only absentee will be Steven Davis who is still struggling with a long term injury, although if rumour is believed Hughes will also not be considering picking Sofiane Boufal for other reasons.
But apart from that Hughes only worries are about picking the right starting line up and making the right substitutions.
Everton will be without striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin who will miss the rest of the season with a back injury although this will not be a major blow in that the youngster has only scored once in the last five months.
Apart from that Everton have a full squad to pick from, although Saints fans will hope that with nothing to play for and manager Sam Allardyce facing an unsure future with a recent poll suggesting that Everton fans are not happy with the style of play, that they can catch the Toffee's on an off day.
