I think Everton and Southampton are down. But Leeds have the toughest games among the bottom-dwellers. But if they can win against Bournemouth, it throws everything into chaos again. If Palace beat West Ham then it's really 5 teams above Everton sucked back into the fight to avoid being the third team down.
Everton will stay up even if they lose to Leicester. Forest and Leeds will join Southampton in the Championship.
Does everton want to take a chance on someone thats done it before? What kind of analysis and punditry is that?
How were Leicester unlucky at the weekend when they won from behind???
I'm a Leeds fan and given our run in, I don't see us picking up the points needed. Our defence is absolutely abysmal and our midfield is so porous. Teams just waltz through our midfield without Tyler Adams. Think it will be Southampton, Everton and Leeds. Everton and Leeds have a really hard run in. Forest don't have an easy run in either, but I think they'll just scrape enough points. Think Leicester will get themselves out of it as they do have quality players and they were unlucky not to beat Leeds.
ESPN FC's description (they have no clue how to analyse) of relegation teams is funny in a sad way. "Poor teams" ~ Craig, "low-bar" fully admitted Shaka. Teams don't fight relegation if they play good enthralling football. How limited are these people's vocabularies?
Whatever happens I hope Everton beat City some how.
Chelsea finishing bottom 4 is worth a shout since Lamps came back
Southampton Everton and forest will go down
Dont forget Chelsea!!!
Southampton are like a foot and a half relegated now
Six points from safety with just 5 games left they need a miracle
Muapay left brighton and went to everton 😂😂😂
18: Bournemouth
19: Leeds
20: Southampton
Everton ironically are now as toxic as newcastle were two years ago. Their fans are quite rightly concerned.
Want to see Everton go down
Hope Leicester thump Everton Monday night
Bring this to the MLS and I'd watch.
Soon chelsea will also join the race
As a Liverpool fan, the only consolation thing after our bad season is seeing Everton relegated😂
Listening to Frank talk makes me feel like I’m having a stroke
Relegation talk, about two teams
🤡
My team everton will get regulated
West ham are not safe yet. Away at palace next. If they dont take points there they play man city and man united b2b. And after that they also got little rest with PL matches and conference league SF matches every couple days.
Chelsea under Frank is not performing they still got big boys to play again they not going to win many game
FINALLY Chelsea is No 1 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏 ……. in bottom half
Leeds will stay up 🎉
What about Chelsea?
Maupay leaving Brighton for Everton 😂 Brighton need to stop selling their best players Arsenal have nicked a couple as well. It shows with maupay the grass isn't always greener on the other side
Soton have been getting away with good recruitment at 1st, then turning a fat profit by selling players and not replacing quality out with quality in over several seasons now? i think its fair that they go down!
Don’t write Chelsea out. They can one up Everton for the relegation title
By the end of next season I believe both Leeds and Everton are relegated
Throw us in the mix cauz Chelsea is the gift that keeps on giving 😂
Southampton Everton and Leeds will relegate
Quite possible that Southampton, Everton and Leicester City could all be relegated this season.
I wonder what the odds at the start of the season would have been on that.
Plus the fact that Luton Town or Coventry City two clubs who have never played in the top flight of English football this century and could have quite easily gone out of existence altogether, could join Burnley and Sheffield United in the 2023/24 Premier League season.
Strange, very strange.🤯😱
Forest
Leeds
Everton
Southampton
Mentioned every club but Leads, do they not exist to you lot?
Looking at the Fixtures..Everton have Leicester Away next , Brighton Away, Man city at Home, Wolves Away and Bournemouth at home…..Miracle if Everton don't get relegated…..Southampton have a tough last few so very likely they are gone..Third spot is vacant, Leeds have to beat Bournemouth and get a draw or 2 to avoid going down..
“Running around aimlessly” – hahaha
Dyche, sacked last year because his team went into the bottom three, played Godfrey, a centre back, as a right back. Newcastle ripped that flank apart. It is clear he is useless in that position. Dyche has kept the excellent Yerry Mina on the bench. He only has half a clue. He keeps referring to the Everton players as they. Everton have to win at Leicester on Monday to have any chance of staying up. Everton have won one away game all season. The last win was seven games ago. Curtains.
When the inevitable occurs Dyche has to go. He has had half a season just to keep the team out of the bottom three. If he cannot do that he is inept and has to go. Everton have had more season in the top flight than any other club by a country mile. Anyone who takes such a regal club down has to go.
Since World War 2, Liverpool have spent three seasons in the bottom half of the top-flight.
Since World War 2, Everton have spent thirty seasons in the bottom half of the top-flight.
Most of that time Everton were the richer club with a stadium Liverpool could only dream of.
Everton are doing something very different to what the club across the park are doing.
Leeds fan here – I think we are down and the worse team on paper with Southampton. Lacking so much quality
