Everton’s relegation chances are subject to intense scrutiny.
After all, given the random nature of results for most teams down that end of the table, plus the looming threat of another points deduction for two sides, it is nearly impossible to predict how this might end.
Especially when there are so many sides involved too, with just seven points separating Luton Town in 18th and Crystal Palace in 14th.
Well, two Sky Sports pundits have actually now come to an agreement on one relegation claim…
What Paul Merson and Darren Bent said about Everton on Sky Sports
Starting off proceedings, Paul Merson would first outline his thoughts on both Luton Town and Everton as they both strive to achieve safety.
He noted on Sky Sports: ‘You look at the fixtures, it’s all about timing. It’s when you play someone. You might look at a game and think ‘Oh that’s a difficult one’… You remember not that long ago Bournemouth were struggling like crazy, then they go and play Newcastle at home who had 11 players out, they go and beat Newcastle and they start their run up the table. It’s all about timing.
‘At the moment I still back Luton, I still think Luton get out of it. I like Luton’s fixtures, I think they’re a different beast at home and I think they win today and they’re right in this.
