'Positive result' - Paul Merson states his prediction for Southampton vs Everton

Southampton are set to welcome Everton in a home match on Saturday, February 19th. The Saints are currenly 10th on the table with 29 points, while the Toffees are way behind in the 16th with 22 points. Ahead of the clash, Paul Merson has stated his prediction on the weekend match result. Merson believes Ralph Hasenhüttl's men will continue their recent good form by picking up all the 3 points.

"Southampton have been very good in recent weeks and could get another positive result against Everton this time around." the pundit wrote in his column for sportskeeda.   "Ralf Hasenhuttl's side were outstanding against Tottenham and also put on a spirited showing against Manchester United, while Everton, on the other hand, have blown hot and cold under Frank Lampard.   "Southampton are on a bit of a roll, so I think they'll win this game.   "Armando Broja is someone who has really caught my eye this season and I strongly believe he's got a future at Chelsea.   "He's big, he's strong, he's quick and has shown that he can score goals consistently at the top level, so even if Chelsea do let him go, I think they'll look to include a buy-back clause in his contract.
