Everton’s Premier League future is in jeopardy due to their struggle to find the back of the net, according to BBC Sport analyst Rachel Brown-Finnis. The ex-England goalkeeper voiced her opinion following a dramatic draw between Luton Town and Crystal Palace.
In a late twist, Cauley Woodrow scored a last-minute equalizer for Luton, making it 1-1 against Palace on Saturday (9 March).
During a discussion on BBC Final Score (9 March) about Luton’s chances of avoiding relegation, Brown-Finnis expressed optimism for the team, pointing out that Luton, unlike Everton and Nottingham Forest, is managing to score goals. She highlighted Everton’s and Forest’s lack of goal-scoring as a critical issue.
The question looms: Will Everton be relegated from the Premier League this season?
The Toffees have been teetering on the edge of relegation to the Championship for several seasons but have narrowly escaped each time.
However, they find themselves embroiled in yet another relegation battle, currently positioned 16th in the league standings.
Following a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday, Everton’s relegation fears have intensified, with the team now only four points clear of the relegation zone.
Under the management of Sean Dyche, Everton has amassed 25 points, but their position remains precarious, especially with an ongoing Premier League investigation that could impact their points total.
Nottingham Forest trails just behind Everton, with Luton Town not far off in 18th place, holding 21 points and a game in hand over the Toffees.
It appears the fight to avoid relegation may boil down to a single spot among these teams, as Sheffield United and Burnley lag behind, occupying the bottom two positions of the league.
