3pm Saturday

Huddersfield have trips to Manchester City and Chelsea and a home match with Arsenal on their schedule after this, so they are under huge pressure to secure points against Everton to boost their survival chances.

The Terriers' 35-point tally will not be enough if Southampton can conjure up a couple of wins, so it is imperative that they take something out of this fixture.

Six of Huddersfield's nine league wins have come at home. However, they may come up short against improving Everton, who have lost only one in six - a 3-1 reverse to Manchester City.

Recommendation
Everton
1pt 11-5 Betfair

Team news
Huddersfield
Elias Kachunga and Danny Williams (both ankle) and Michael Hefele (knee) will not feature.

Everton
Leighton Baines, Morgan Schneiderlin and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are doubts with minor injuries and Gylfi Sigurdsson (knee) will not be involved.
