Alan Shearer has dropped his prediction for Everton vs Southampton

Everton have the chance to extend their unbeaten streak to six games in the Premier League, and Alan Shearer has made his prediction for the Southampton clash.

Sean Dyche will head into this one wanting improvements after a rather disappointing 1-1 draw with Fulham, as it could quite easily have been a loss.

Everton were dominated in most areas of the pitch and struggled to control the game.

Now, the Toffees have the opportunity to return to winning ways against a Southampton side who sit rock bottom in the table and are yet to secure a win.

Interestingly, Alan Shearer has made his prediction for the game, and it’s a pretty confident one at that, with there set to be one clear winner in his mind.

Alan Shearer got his prediction for the Fulham clash bang on, as Beto’s late equaliser made his pick of a draw come true.

Southampton will pose a whole different challenge, playing out from the back and taking risks, which could work to Everton and Sean Dyche’s advantage.

Interestingly, Alan Shearer certainly seems to think there’s only one team winning this one, and that’s Everton.

Speaking in his column for the Metro, Shearer pinpoints Dyche’s experience as the one difference that will really turn the tie in Everton’s favour.

“It’s another huge game down toward the bottom of the Premier League, but very much like Everton did a couple of weeks ago at Ipswich, I see them taking all three points.

“They are streetwise, Sean Dyche has been around the block, and they know how to go to teams like Southampton and get results. I’ll go for an Everton win.”

Sean Dyche’s future at Everton

Sean Dyche has got his side playing some nice football in recent times, but the one worrying stat that remains is the fact that Everton are rock bottom in the Premier League for possession.

However, the results are coming the way of the Toffees, which has proved some of the doubters wrong.

Interestingly, it appears as if the Friedkin Group have a plan in place to get a new manager by the team Everton move into a new stadium.

Of course, with a takeover and a new stadium on offer, it won’t be hard to attract some of the biggest manager names in football, it’s just important that we don’t get relegated.
