# Southampton: Fans discuss potential starting XI vs Everton

**Southampton’s upcoming fixture against Everton is arguably a huge game considering the form and league positions of both sides.**

The Saints have not won on home soil [all season](https://uk.soccerway.com/teams/england/southampton-fc/670/) and are without a victory since [mid-September](https://uk.soccerway.com/teams/england/southampton-fc/670/), where they narrowly edged past Sheffield United 1-0 at Bramall Lane.

Just [three points](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) currently separate the two teams heading into the match, meaning a win for the hosts would see them draw level with the Toffees and put them in a much healthier situation. A loss, however, will increase the gap to six points and make the Hampshire club’s quest for survival a lot trickier.

One big boost for the Saints is that both defender Cedric and winger Moussa Djenepo are both [fit enough to feature](https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/2019-11-07/team-news-ralph-hasenhuttl-southampton-everton-premier-league). The pair had faced spells on the sidelines with respective injuries last month, though Djenepo did feature [off the bench](https://www.google.com/search?q=pl+table&oq=pl+table&aqs=chrome..69i57j35i39j0j69i59j0l2.1127j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#sie=m;/g/11hyk3gw62;2;/m/02_tc;ln;fp;1;;) during the 2-1 defeat to Manchester City last weekend.

Saints fans have been discussing who they would start against Everton on Twitter, and here’s what some had to say:

> I know Stephens did well at the weekend but am I missing something with Danso? He did well when he had that run and didn’t we have 3 consecutive away clean sheets with him involved?

> I’m not too far off that – id actually start Adams up top and definitely Gunn in goal as he is the only one capable of clean sheets – but this isn’t too far off my team. Clearly a bit weak in midfield so the wide players need to sit in a little.
