Koeman’s combined signings XI

Ronald Koeman will return to Southampton for the first time as Everton travel to St Mary’s on Super Sunday.

The Dutchman spent two successful years with the Saints before swapping the south coast for Merseyside over the summer, and a host of his acquisitions are still playing key roles at his former club.
