Match of the Day 2: MOTD2 - 1st November 2015
Overview
Highlights from the day's two Premier League matches, along with all the goals from Saturday's games. The fixtures included a much-anticipated south coast derby between Southampton and Bournemouth. The teams have never met in the top tier of English football, and will be playing each other for the first time since the 2010-11 season, when Saints beat the Cherries twice in League One, having also knocked them out of the League Cup. The day's other game saw struggling Sunderland visit Everton. The Black Cats won 2-0 at Goodison Park in May, a victory which dragged them out of the relegation zone. With another survival battle already seeming likely, they will be hoping for a similar result.

So the Swans will need to show some of the fighting qualities that earned them a 1-1 draw in the corresponding fixture last season.
