...  we’ve played 14 away games previously on 9th November in all competitions
- we won the first 3 - in 1889, 1895 and 1901
- but since then, we’ve won 0 of the last 11 - W0 D4 L7!

- the most recent was a 1-1 draw at Sunderland in 2014
- Leighton Baines’ 74th minute penalty equalised Seb Larsson’s 67th minute opener.

- 45 years ago on 9th November 1974, a 1-1 draw at Tottenham was our 6th away draw on the run in all competitions
- that's a club record!

- it was also our 5th in succession in away League games
- a joint club record

- we lost last season at St Mary’s - 2-1 in January with Gylfi Sigurdsson grabbing our injury-time consolation

- and that was the latest of 3 successive defeats for us there

- our last away win at Southampton was a 3-0 victory in August 2015
- 2 goals from Romelu Lukaku and 1 from Ross Barkley did the trick

- that, however, was our only win in our last 10 trips to their place - W1 D3 L6

- if Seamus Coleman plays against the Saints, it will be his 256th League appearance for the club
- that would put him level with 1960’s legend Jimmy Gabriel in joint 39th place on our all-time list

- it would also be Seamus's 299th game for us in all competitions
- that's the same as 1980s legend Trevor Steven managed!
- they'd be in joint 39th place on that all-time list

- plus if he starts the game, it will be the skipper's 273rd start in all comps for the club
- that's the same as club great Joe Royle
- they'd be joint 48th on our all-time start chart!

- oh, and if Lucas Digne starts at Southampton it will be his 50th start for us in all competitions

- will Dominic Calvert-Lewin make another substitute appearance?
- if he does it will be the 40th time he’s come off the bench for us in the League
- that would be 1 more than James Vaughan’s total and DCL would be in 9th place alone on our all-time League subs list

- if he plays at Southampton it will be Jordan Pickford’s 101st appearance for the club, 1 more than Nigel Martyn managed
- only 12 other keepers have played more for us

- Neville Southall tops the list with 751 appearances
- that's a club record for any Everton player whatever the position!

- Mason Holgate has played 42 Premier League games for us now without a goal
- will he play and remain scoreless at St Mary’s?
- if so, he’ll join Abel Xavier in joint 5th place on our ‘Most Prem Appearances Without A Goal’ chart!

- that list is headed, of course, by Tony Hibbert
- Hibbo racked up 265 Prem appearances for the club (and 329 in all competitions!) without a goal!

- if we fail to win at Southampton it will be our worst away 6-match start to a League season since 2003/04
- that time round our record was W0 D2 L4

- if we lose it will be the worst since 1994/95 when we lost all of our opening 6 away Premier League games!

- a defeat would also be our 5th in succession away from home in the League
- the last time that happened was from December 2017 to March 2018

- and if we fail to win it will be 9 away matches on the run without a victory
- that would be our worst run since we went 16 away games without a victory from February to December 2017

- the match will be Marco Silva’s 50th in charge of us in the League
- his current record is W18 D11 L20 – F65 A63 – Win%: 36.7 – Pts/game: 1.33

- this is how that compares with our recent managers:

- Sam Allardyce only managed us 24 times in the League: W9 D7 L8 – F27 A30 – Win%: 37.5 – Pts/game: 1.42
- Ronald Koeman, in 47 League games in charge: W19 D12 L16 – F69 A62 – Win%: 40.4 – Pts/game: 1.47
- Roberto Martinez – W25 D14 L11 – F83 A58 – Win%: 50.0 – Pts/game: 1.78
- David Moyes – W22 D10 L18 – F72 A76 – Win%: 44.0 – Pts/game: 1.52
- Walter Smith – W16 D13 L21 – F63 A65 – Win% 32.0 – Pts/game: 1.22

- will Southampton score a penalty against us?
- if they do, it will be the 50th successful spot-kick against us in all of our away Premier League games
- whereas if we score one it will be our 450th converted penalty in all of our games ever in all competitions at all venues!

- we don’t have a very good recent away record on a Saturday!

- in our last 12 in all competitions we’ve won just 1 - W1 D2 L9!
- the one victory was at West Ham last March

- that was a 5.30pm kick-off
- in Saturday away games with a traditional 3.00pm start we’ve won 0 of the last 9 - W0 D2 L7 (all in the Premier League)!

- our last Saturday/3.00pm away win was at Leicester back in October 2018

- don’t leave the game early!

- our last 4 games in all competitions have all featured injury time goals!
- that’s never happened before in our history!

- the closest was in April to September 1929 when 4 consecutive games featured last minute goals!
- in that earlier run, all of the goals were scored by the opposition

- in the current run they’ve all been scored by Everton players
- albeit one of them (by Lucas Digne) was an own goal!

- COYB!
