The odds on Everton to be relegated from the Premier League this season have shifted following their loss to Chelsea on Monday evening.
Everton have been in and around the relegation zone since their original 10-point deduction earlier this year, with a fresh two-point deduction followed by a 6-0 hammering at the hands of Mauricio Pochettino’s men on Monday seeing their odds slashed to 4/1 to be relegated this term.
Sean Dyche on Everton struggles
Everton have secured just one Premier League win across 2024 so far and their latest display vs the west Londoners suggests relegation is a real possibility.
The Merseysiders now sit just two points above the relegation zone with six to play and though they have a game in hand on the teams below them, that is unlikely to matter if they do not fix their performances on the pitch.
On his team’s display and the latest points deduction potentially impacting Everton vs Chelsea, Sean Dyche said post-match: “Perfect storm that every mistake got punished. The start of the game was spot on and we went after them, there is a strange feeling around Chelsea, could we step on them? We missed a chance straight away.
“People learning and young players learning about football, but you have to get your tackles in, but it was miles off collectively – mildly better in second half.
“The basics you have got to do the basics and you have got to recover. Chelsea have good players they play round you and you have to recover.
“We were miles away from it tonight, nothing to do with anyone else. We have taken a knock; does it leak into the players? Maybe.”
Everton return to action on April 21 vs 17th-place Nottingham Forest in what is likely to be a crucial clash in the relegation scrap. Back Dyche and co. to secure the three points at 19/20 with bet365.
