Could Everton really be relegated from the Premier League? Will Burnley’s late charge save them? Could Leeds United be the ones dropping down into the Championship?
Everton are one of six teams to have never been relegated from the Premier League, but face the threat of dropping out of the top tier of English football for the first time since 1951 unless they can make the most of their two games in hand.
They face Chelsea at home on Sunday.
Burnley are the form team of the trio. The Clarets have picked up 10 points from a possible 12 since sacking Sean Dyche as manager and replacing him with caretaker Mike Jackson.
Leeds United ended a 16-year absence from the top flight in 2020 but their concerns over relegation will only have heightened after a 4-0 defeat by Manchester City, adding to their significantly worse goal difference than their rivals.
