They are two points behind Burnley, although they have a game in hand on the Clarets, while Leeds are five points above the bottom three.

When asked about a potential points tally that could keep Everton up, Brown told GIVEMESPORT: “I think they’re going to need nine or 10 more, at least. Looking at the table, 38/39 might be enough. Because, can Watford and Burnley win enough games to get above that, get enough points to get above that? That’s the big question.

“Leeds have 34 at the moment, so they would only need four or five points to get above that total. But, I think for two teams to get above you on that would be unlikely. So, that might be enough.”

For Everton to get 10 points from their remaining games, they would need to pick up three wins and a draw. This is a tough ask, considering they have only won three matches in the
