Jamie Carragher makes Everton relegation prediction
Jamie Carragher predicts Everton to get relegated from the Premier League this season if they lose to Burnley.
The Toffees and Clarets are currently 17th and 19th respectively and their game on April 6 will have massive ramifications.
Both sides have played the same number of games, but Burnley find themselves four points adrift of the Merseyside outfit.
Discussing the Toffees’ survival chances on Sky Sports Overlap, Carragher said, “But in terms of those players, they’re a disgrace.
“If they lose against Burnley, they’ll go down. There’s just so much panic as they’re a huge football club.
“Given their home games, there will be added pressure. They’ll feel the chaos.”
Lot riding on it
The game against Burnley should be viewed as a cup final and there are no two ways about it.
The fact that it’s at Turf Moor makes it all the more daunting for Frank Lampard’s men.
Burnley and Sean Dyche have been in this situation several times in the past and they’ve managed to eek their way out of it.
They will back themselves to do it once again as they’re a well-drilled side and everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet.
At Everton, Lampard still is trying to find the best system for his players and the lack of balance is proving evident in games.
Right now, it’s only the quality in the squad that’s carrying the team over the line and no real tactical spark.
