Week 9 features a match on Saturday Oct 1st, where Southampton will play host to Everton in a meeting of these two evenly matched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, 14th placed Southampton, recorded a 0-1 loss against Aston Villa. Jacob Ramsey scored the first goal for Aston Villa in the 41st minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Southampton was frustrated by Aston Villa’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Aston Villa ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while 13th placed Everton is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against West Ham United. Neal Maupay struck first for Everton in the 53rd minute on a feed from Alex Iwobi, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, West Ham United couldn’t muster any offence and Everton ran away with the shutout win. Everton looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
