Everton Squad briefing

Everton welcomed a new manager, Rafel Benitez, after Carlo Ancelotti moved to Laliga’s Real Madrid. The former Liverpool boss has won 536 matches, drawn 244 and lost 284 in his entire 1064 managing career. He is known to be a quintessential manager who puts all his heart and mind into analysing his team’s performance. As Coleman extends his contract by one year, the Toffeemen will also have their summer reinforcements, including Demarai Gray, Begovic, and Andros Townsend. They also have James Rodriguez, who will probably star in the first XI, and Moise Keane is back but not likely to play because of a Toe Injury.

Southampton squad analysis

There are no significant incomings to The Saints, yet key players have left St Mary’s to join other EPL sides. For instance, Ryan Bertrand and Danny Ings moving to Leicester and Aston Villa, respectively. However, Southampton has acquired a new striker, Adam Armstrong, from Blackburn to reinforce their attack. They still have strong and talented players like Theo Walcott, Redmond, Moussa Djenepo, and Walker-Peters onboard.
