News Insights

  • Everton are in an EPL relegation battle once again this season.
  • The Toffees have also been hit with a 10-point deduction by the Premier League.
  • Sean Dyche’s side sit in 17th place in the EPL table.
  • Promoted sides Luton, Burnley, and Sheffield United sit below them in the relegation battle.

Having flirted with the drop zone for the past few seasons, Everton have been firmly in the conversation for the drop this term with many punters and EPL betting sites
 
However, when they were whacked with a 10-point deduction in October 2023, the writing looked to be on the wall. 
 
The Toffees have plugged on though and remain firmly in the mix to secure their Premier League status, regardless of whether the 10-point deduction is upheld. 

Premier League OG 

Everton have historically been one of the most successful teams in English football, despite the fact their last major trophy was won back in 1995. 
 
The Toffees have been in the mix for Premier League relegation many times over the past two decades, yet they always manage to keep their heads above water. 

How long that record stays in tact for remains to be seen but for the time being, Everton are a Premier League side and their gravitas speaks for itself with domestic and international betting sites
 
Dyche to the rescue 

Following an ill-fated spell with Frank Lampard in charge, Everton looked to Sean Dyche to oversee a revolution of sorts. 
 
Whilst that hasn’t quite manifested, Everton have been much more difficult to beat under Sean Dyche and if they could reverse their 10-point deduction, they would be in the mid-table shakeup. 
 
Pragmatism is at the heart of the Dyche operation, with Everton very tough to beat and he will want to see that replicated plenty of times between now and the end of the EPL season. 
 
Can they avoid the drop again? 

Picking up a 10-point deduction would knock the stuffing out of any team, but Everton deserve huge credit for how they have managed to roll with the punches. 
 
Whilst the deduction could prove costly in the end, the decision has been appealed and the outcome could look very different at the end of the EPL season. 
 
It promises to be a race that goes down to the wire and Everton are $4.00 to be relegated this season with BoomBet.
