Everton is preparing to say goodbye to Goodison Park today as the Toffees face Southampton in their final game at their iconic ground.
David Moyes’ side will of course be heading to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock at the start of next season, but not before one final outing at their historic ground. Fans are set to give Goodison a huge send-off, and Everton will be expected to leave on a high.
It faces a Southampton side already long relegated from the Premier League, although the Saints have ensured they won’t finish the season with a record low points tally.
