How many Premier League points will Everton need for survival?

A look at the bottom of the PL.

00:00 Will, looking at Everton and the running now, obviously hugely important this back end of the season

00:08 and they haven't really helped themselves up to this point but they need to start winning games and turning games

00:13 you know, just ending up with more points than they're not getting at the moment.

00:18 How many points do you feel like they need to survive this season?

00:22 Obviously it's been quite a clear relegation fight, we've had the points deductions for Everton and Forest now as well

00:28 but how many points do you feel that they're going to be safe by come the end of the season?

00:33 Yeah, it was always that 40 points wasn't it that teams needed to get but I think maybe that's adjusted a little bit now

00:41 and maybe you're looking at 38 so on that front Everton need 13 more points, they've got 25 at the minute

00:49 but of course you don't know what's going to happen with this second chance that the Independent Commission have now heard

00:57 and whether Everton are going to have any more points taken off them or not, we don't know that.

01:02 Shaun's actually certainly been ploughed for the worst again, he has to, that's the only way you can go about it

01:10 but I think as you say, Forest have been hit with four points now, will they get any back?

01:18 I think a lot of people think that was maybe leaning compared to Everton so maybe they mightn't get any more back.

01:24 Luton have shown a little bit of fight to be fair to them haven't they but they haven't really picked up results,

01:30 they've had that little bit of a purple patch but Everton need to look after themselves definitely,

01:34 they need to start winning games, they haven't won in the past 11 Premier League matches

01:39 and the fixture list isn't harsh on Everton I don't think, I think you're looking at games that are pretty winnable,

01:50 they played Burnley at home, still got to play Nottingham Forest at home, still got to play Sheffield United at home,

01:57 Brentford at home, so you're looking at those, they're four teams who Everton you would think should be beating,

02:06 still got to go to Luton as well, Everton can go and get a result there.

02:10 So the running for Shaun's agents isn't exactly difficult, it's just that they now need to find a way of winning games,

02:19 that's the top and bottom of it and if they don't and they were to be hit with another points reduction

02:25 then they will be dragged into it but if Everton were to pick up results then they're going to start creating that gap

02:31 and it's not only a gap, it's psychologically as well as an effect on the opposition teams.
