Southampton take on Everton in the Barclays Premier League with each hoping to finish the season as high as possible.
For the Toffees, that means attempting to reach the UEFA Champions League, with the battle for fourth place with Arsenal finely poised.
Everton have been in superb form in the second half of the season, but suffered a blow when they succumbed to a surprise loss to Crystal Palace at Goodison Park recently – allowing the Gunners to overtake them.
Against Southampton, Roberto Martinez faces a tricky dilemma on who to play in defence.
Sylvain Distin is ruled out, while Phil Jagielka is a doubt for the game, meaning teenager John Stones could play alongside Antolin Alcaraz at the back.
With Kevin Mirallas, Bryan Oviedo, Darron Gibson, Steven Pienaar, Lacina Traore and Arouna Kone all missing, Everton’s squad is stretched to its limits.
Southampton too are missing key players, with Morgan Schneiderlin and Jay Rodriguez particularly crucial absences.
Kelvin Davis, Maya Yoshida and Gaston Ramirez will also play no part, meaning that manager Mauricio Pochettino could well select the same side that drew with Aston Villa.
