Everton boss Roberto Martinez is a big fan of Mauricio Pochettino's Southampton.
The two teams meet today.
Martinez said: "Southampton, in terms of football concepts, are one of the most attractive teams in the league and they have a bravery about the way they play.
"They already have eight points more than they had last season and that shows you the incredible progress they have made.
"In our eyes it is another very important game we need to be as good as we can be.
"I have huge admiration for (Mauricio) Pochettino. He came in at a difficult time when Southampton had a very successful period with two promotions and he embraced the good work Nigel (Adkins) did and all of a sudden he transformed the team.
"They are very dynamic and they have really good quality in the young players and they have been very impressive.
"They get good results at home against the top teams and the team plays with an incredible swagger and intelligence."
