Idrissa Gana Gueye says Everton will go to Southampton on Sunday firmly believing they can secure a precious and morale-boosting victory.
Midfielder Gana Gueye admits the Toffees are in a “difficult moment” but insists the confidence gained from a recent upturn in Premier League results will not be punctured by the midweek defeat to Atalanta.
Everton have claimed 12 points from their opening 12 Premier League matches this term – but four of those have been taken from their two most recent outings, against Watford and Crystal Palace.
Mauricio Pellegrino’s Saints are currently one point better off than the Toffees but have lost their past two matches, failing to score in both games.
