Super Computer makes new Everton Premier League relegation prediction after last-gasp draw v Leicester City
Everton are more likely to get relegated from the Premier League after their draw against Leicester at Goodison Park on Wednesday night.
That’s according to FiveThirtyEight’s super computer, which predicts the Blues have a 34 per cent chance of suffering the drop to the Championship.
On Sunday, after Burnley drew at West Ham, Everton’s chances of relegation were 30 per cent but two dropped points versus Leicester, ahead of a tough run of fixtures, means they’re now more likely to go down.
Going down?
While it’s always nice to grab a late equaliser, Everton had enough chances in that game to win all three points and really boost their survival bid.
Richarlison grabbed the last-ditch goal to make it 1-1 against Leicester but he could have had a hat-trick before that.
It’s not nice to admit it, but it feels more like two points lost than a point gained when you watch back the highlights and look at our upcoming fixtures compared to Burnley’s.
Based on the super computer, it looks like a straight shoot-out between Everton and Burnley for survival.
Everton’s next three games are against Liverpool, Chelsea and Leicester.
Burnley’s next three are Southampton, Wolves and Watford.
Yikes.
Lampard really does have his work cut out over the coming weeks in order to avoid a slip into the second-tier for the first time since the 1950s.
