Everton boss David Moyes admits he is wary of the threat from Southampton striker Rickie Lambert ahead of Saturday's match between the teams at Goodison Park.
Reaction
Moyes is looking for a reaction from his players after an under-strength side exited the Capital One Cup against Leeds in midweek.
And he has already brushed that result under the carpet, preferring instead to concentrate on the impressive start to the season the Toffees have made with 10 points from five matches which puts them in third place.
"We have got to really talk about how well Everton have done," added the Scot.
"We went to Leeds and didn't do well and we went to West Brom (losing 2-0) and didn't play that well.
"But overall no-one can doubt the way the players have played and their attitude and performance has been fantastic and we've started well so we wanted to keep that going.
"We have done okay in 2012 but we are not the sort of people here who get carried away with ourselves and we have to keep going.
"We have Southampton at home and if we take three points from that and then it cements us in a lofty position early on in the season."
