Best football players in the world 2022 Only three teams have ever been relegated during a 38-game season with 40 points or more.

Everton have won two games on the bounce and have seen themselves surge out of the relegation zone, but with just a few matches left to play this season, ...

The eternal pessimist in us knows this is exactly the kind of game Everton tend to slip, trip and fall on their faces, as they have done so many times over the years. The last time the two sides played, Everton were leading at home 2-1 with about twelve-odd minutes to play. 28’ - Richy goes down on the edge of the box, but Mike Dean wants nothing to do with it. The fans certainly will be there like they have been the last few games - it sounds like we might have 7,000-plus supporters at Watford with Vicarage Road only holding about 21,500. Norwich City and today’s opponents Watford FC have both already been relegated, leaving three teams in direct danger of falling into the last spot. Theoretically, Southampton, Leicester City and Newcastle are also still in the relegation race, but it will need a monumental turnaround in fortunes to see them dragged down. The lineups are out and Frank Lampard has named a full strength side, taking no chances here. 44’ - Ugh, Iwobi gives away a needless freekick from a dangerous position on the Everton right now. Gray puts it into the box, partly cleared, and Abdoulaye Doucoure tries to head it over Ben Foster but can’t get enough power on his header. 42’ - Ngakia nutmegs Myko who catches his foot, and Watford have a freekick from a great position. Watford suddenly started stroking the ball around and Everton were left chasing their tails at Goodison Park, ending up losing in humiliating fashion 5-2. Still sitting in their ‘safe’ 5-4-1 with Alex Iwobi at right wingback.

Michael Keane is restored to Everton's starting XI, as manager Frank Lampard makes one enforced change for Wednesday's Premier League meeting with Watford.

Lampard sticks with the front three of Richarlison, playing at the home of the club he left for Everton in summer 2018, Anthony Gordon and Demarai Gray. He is partnered by Abdoulaye Doucoure in the centre of midfield. Defender Keane replaced the stricken Yerry Mina during the opening half of the win over Leciester City on Sunday. And he comes into the team at Vicarage Road as part of a likely back three, also featuring Mason Holgate and captain Seamus Coleman.

Frank Lampard has steered Everton back out of the Premier League relegation zone, but Simon Jordan is less than impressed.

Crucially, the Blues have a game in hand on their relegation rivals. We’re going to see if Frank Lampard is a Premier League manager because there’s all this talk – me included – about Lampard and the unfairness of the treatment of Chelsea and how I thought he had the calibre to be a football manager. The former Chelsea legend took over the reins at Goodison Park in January after Rafa Benitez was sacked for a run of poor results.

Quotes from Everton manager Frank Lampard circulate across media outlets ahead of the Blues' trip to Watford this evening. The Mirror publishes quotes from ...

"Every game in the Premier League is dangerous, especially when you travel away. It’s so important, and so there shouldn’t be any way with four games to go and one point out of the relegation zone, you think we are fine. "It's the only message for us.

Everton put further distance between themselves and the bottom three but could only play out a lacklustre goalless draw at already-relegated Watford.

Alex Iwobi found Anthony Gordon on the half-hour, but he was unable to direct his shot goalwards. Ben Foster was called upon to make his first save of the match early in the second half as he kept out a deflected Richarlison shot that was heading into the back of the net, but the Hornets keeper managed to palm the ball behind. The Hornets had an opportunity in the eighth minute with a clever passing move, but Samuel Kalu was unable to control the shot and Pickford was able to make the save.

A formal announcement is expected as the Premier League season draws to a close.

Key to Everton's financial recovery will be them remaining in the Premier League. The club lost just under £121m for the most recent 2020/21 financial period, and remaining as part of English football's top flight is vital to how quickly any financial recovery can occur, especially given the bumper Premier League media deal that has been inked for the next cycle domestically and internationally. It would offer the club a financial lift as they seek to overcome a bruising few months off the field after key sponsorships with USM Holdings and MegaFon both ended due to the links with them and the sanctioned billionaire, and long-time friend and business associate of Everton owner Farhad Moshiri, Alisher Usmanov. The deal, understood to be a significant lift on the reported £9.6m that Cazoo had been paying when they took over the rights from previous sponsors Sport Pesa in the summer of 2020, would be a multi-year deal to take them into Bramley Moore Dock.

In a game low on chances, Ben Foster's late save from Vitalii Mykolenko ensured Watford drew 0-0 with Everton.

Lampard then had reason to look relieved when only a last-ditch tackle from Séamus Coleman prevented a Watford breakaway. Denied the services of Yerry Mina, Lampard recalled Michael Keane at the heart of his five-man defence and he almost gifted Watford an early lead, miscuing a clearance after Jordan Pickford had given possession away. But despite the confidence-boosting wins over Chelsea and Leicester Everton never really looked like finding a way past Ben Foster even when Lampard threw on Dominic Calvert-Lewin for the last 15 minutes and it was Watford’s fans who greeted the final whistle with glee.

Everton's fans attend the English Premier League football match between Watford and Everton at Vicarage Road Stadium in Watford, north-west of London, on May 11 ...

But that away end, tucked away in the corner of Vicarage Road on Wednesday evening, was every bit as loud and as boisterous as they were at the weekend. As the substitutes who didn't make it onto the pitch emerged to do their usual warm-down drills, fans were in fine voice cheering each of them on. Those Blues supporters were again in fantastic voice right from when the two sides were warming up, throughout the match itself, and for a significant amount of time after the final whistle.

Frank Lampard made just one change from the win at Leicester with Michael Keane coming in for the injured Yerry Mina. Bringing in Allan for Fabian Delph could ...

The game just got bogged down though into a scrappy mess. Everton did wake up in the second half. The travelling Toffees once again arrived in great number and in great voice, following on from Sunday’s game at the King Power. But in a game where they are expected to take the initiative, it didn’t really work. With Watford already relegated a number of home fans decided to give this a miss, meaning there were plenty of empty seats as the game began at Vicarage Road - in the home section at least. I would have taken four points from these two away games, but after the win at Leicester it feels like they have blown a chance to all but secure safety.

The hosts had lost their last eleven matches at Vicarage Road while the Blues arrived in Hertfordshire having ended a miserable away run at Leicester City on ...

You offer us the position we are in now - to have it in our own hands with two games up at Goodison - we would bite your hand off." We toiled and kept trying to play and produce in the final third and we were slightly off, but I was thinking after the game - you offer us seven points from Chelsea, Leicester and Watford, we bite your hand off. He stated he was "relatively happy" with the point and said: "I sensed their [the players'] frustration because the lads are in there, they want to do it, they want a run, they are feeling it - they wanted to come here and win.

Everton took their unbeaten run to three games in a row after managing a 0-0 draw against Watford in the Premier League on Wednesday (11 May).

He produced a superb dummy in the first half and looked lively once again. He came close to scoring in the second half but his effort was saved by Ben Foster. He was one of the poor performers out there in the first half. He was a constant threat from the right hand side and produced a brilliant pass for Gray, but he couldn’t hit the target. He miscued a half chance inside the box in the first half, but looked dangerous throughout. He hardly had to make a proper save in the first half.

Speaking on his own podcast, Foster commented, “One thing I will say is, if you can get on top of Everton early doors, the Everton fans are horrible to Everton ...

Everton forward again saw Gordon try to find Doucoure, the ball going left for Mykolenko, his low ball into the six yard area gathered by Foster. Four added minutes were signalled, could the Blues find a winner? Another decent build-up led to Iwobi pulling a cross back towards Richarlison and win a tenth corner that saw Keane climb and head straight into the arms of Foster. Good play by Richy saw him send a low cross through the Watford six yard area and when Mykolenko crossed in from the left, Iwobi saw a shot blocked. Watford won a free kick wide on their right that led to Gosling hitting a desperately wild shot high and wide of the target. Passing the hour mark and the game was still goalless and despite news coming through that Leeds were trailing to Chelsea, we still needed Everton to show some quality and earn three points. Pickford needed to be quick off his line to clear before Pedro could reach a ball from Sissoko and Keane conceded a free kick as Watford came again quick, and Sissoko couldn’t get up high enough to make anything of the cross. Watford saw another shot from Kalu fail to trouble Pickford and the half petered out with Roy Hodgson probably the happier of the two managers. A poor clearance from Pickford saw him get lucky as Watford couldn’t make anything of it and Keane was able to steer the ball back to the ‘keeper. And Watford put together another attack before Everton finally crossed the halfway line only for the raid to break down short of the Watford area. The corner came to nothing and Gordon switched to the left flank as we passed the midway point of the half. The next Everton foray saw Delph spread the ball wide and eventually to Iwobi to cross for Gordon to put his volley well over the crossbar and pose no threat to Ben Foster at all. A great dummy and turn by Gordon took him clear of his marker and gaining the Watford area, his cross was blocked for a corner that led to Richarlison seeing a short range effort deflected behind, and former Blue Dan Gosling cleared the threat from the second corner. All we said before the game is, ‘right lads, we need to start fast and get on top of them’. We won the game 5-2 and we make a point of saying it, the Everton fans are horrible.

Watford 0-0 Everton: There were certainly no winners here - but with Leeds losing at home to Chelsea, a point takes Frank Lampard's side two clear of the ...

Anthony Gordon and Richarlison, formerly of yellow and black, were the most direct, as ever, and Gordon’s breaks down the right should have amounted to more, particularly the one in which he superbly dummied Ken Sema to sprint free. There was no need to watch the end of a third. For Watford were already down after defeat to Crystal Palace on the weekend, their sixth loss in a row, and many of their players already out. All with a combination of injury and illness, no doubt exacerbated by the premature end to their season and thus their enthusiasm. Watford actually had the better start, shifting the ball back and forth enough to find the odd entry into the box from wide positions. But this was as close as you can get to such a luxury and they refused to take it.

A dreadful game between two poor sides moved Everton a step closer to Premier League safety.

But the ball runs away from him a touch so that he has to slide into his shot, and it slips just wide of the far post. I guess, according to the standards of this game, that constitutes a chance.

Everton match analysis from Adam Jones after a frustrating draw with Watford at Vicarage Road.

But, he'll be absolutely desperate to get back on the pitch as soon as possible and get on the scoresheet. It had been quite clear Everton needed a target man with the manner in which they were attacking, and so the change made sense. He had 87 touches throughout his time on the pitch, 20 more than anyone else who took to the field in royal blue. Throughout the 90 minutes he gave Adam Masina a torrid time in constantly looking over his shoulder to see if he was marauding down the flank again. Add in one each in clearances and interceptions and his display really takes on a new light. But, if you're the manager, do you roll the dice and go for a three points that could have a huge impact on the fight against relegation? Everton were handed more possession than they had been granted in their previous two matches, and they struggled to knit things together in the final third with the system they had. Everton are not blessed with having picked up a lot of points away from home this season, and if they changed their system midway through this match it could easily have knocked them off their stride somewhat. Of course, you can never rule out individual errors at the back either, so there's that to factor into the mix. When the Blues' dangerous players did pick up possession and drove at the Watford defence, they didn't have the quality to cause them much problems. You could maybe keep the same personnel as the previous game, barring the necessary change of Michael Keane coming in for the injured Yerry Mina of course. Would they stick with what had been working in recent matches, or switch it up for a different opponent?

Three points would have all-but-ensured Everton's safety, instead they remain within reach of both Leeds and Burnley.

Perhaps, at the end of it all, that will be enough. “It was not the best game to watch,” said Lampard. “But that is the nature of the position we are in. By the end, the Watford fans took pleasure from simply winning possession, and indeed surrendering it a few seconds later. It is a point gained, on paper that is what it is. In truth, there will not have been many worse games this season, in terms of technical quality at least. Time will tell how damaging this failure to win, at the ground where almost every other team has won this season, might prove to be for Frank Lampard’s team.

Frank Lampard dismissed any suggestion that Everton had missed an opportunity by drawing with Watford, describing it as a point gained.

"I think if you can't win, you don't lose, and we were more than secure in the game. "For all the talk about pressure, more or less, it's only actions at this point. "There were not enough clear chances.

Everton are set to meet with Bologna sporting director Riccardo Bigon who has flown to London to discuss potential sales, CalcioNapoli24 reports.

It’s not out of the question that the Toffees might hold an interest in one of the other four who are set to leave Bologna, especially with Dutchman Schouten fulfilling a similar midfield role. The 23-year-old Swede is one of five players who are available from the club, and Bigon has flown to London “to sell them in the Premier League” according to the report. The Toffees have been credited with an interest in midfielder Mattias Svanberg (SportMediaset) and he is one of the players the Italian is reportedly due to discuss.

It’s how much you want to fight, how much you want to get results, organise the team, show passion and hopefully they see that I understand it a bit and see that from me.” “I think Evertonians understood when I came in that we were fighting and fighting to stay in the Premier League and so history and what you spent means nothing. Now, as he learns to love a different shade of blue, he took it on while stood in the Everton technical area, grimacing and hopping from one foot to the other like a man using a public bathroom. Ultimately, given the situation Everton find themselves in, it is hard to focus too much on these issues at the moment. It will be fascinating to see where Lampard and Everton go from here. Wednesday night’s 0-0 draw with Watford was the kind of result for Everton that does not need to be spoken of further.

Everton have taken another point in their pursuit to survive relegation from the Premier League this season.

Of their remaining four games, considering Roy Hodgson’s side are already relegated from the league this season it could’ve been considered the Toffees’ easiest opportunity to take three points in their attempt to hold onto their Premier League status next season, so to take a draw from the game will be bittersweet. The Blues boss will be hoping that last night’s performance from the Frenchman will be a one-off considering he has played a crucial part in the two most recent victories prior to the Watford clash, and will hope that going forward the midfielder will step up to put in the hard work needed over the last three games to ensure they can remain in the Premier League next season. Everton have miraculously gone unbeaten in their last three Premier League games after taking a goalless draw and Frank Lampard will surely have mixed emotions about the result against Watford yesterday evening.

I think if you can’t win, you don’t lose, and we were more than secure in the game.

Everton were unable to collect all three points away to Watford on Wednesday evening though avoided defeat against the Hornets.

"Both teams emerged invigorated after the break, as though both managers had reminded their players there was in fact a game to win. "Every point counts at this stage of the season, especially in a scrap to avoid a calamitous relegation, although Everton will surely feel that it should have been more. After their shaky start Everton grew into the match, but were unable to find the final ball. "Time will tell how damaging this failure to win, at the ground where almost every other team has won this season, might prove to be for Frank Lampard’s team. "There were times at Vicarage Road on Wednesday night when you had to remind yourself that this match between Watford and Everton meant something.

An overview of some of the moments that may otherwise have gone unnoticed during Everton's draw with Watford.

For most of the match the stadium was dominated by the sound of the Everton supporters trying to spark their team into life. Everton might have scored from a set piece against Leicester City at the weekend, but it seems that they generally require more work in that field if they are going to make Clement happy. However, a lot of the time, he was left very disappointed. But, during that, he admitted one of his responsibilities since arriving at the end of January has regarded set pieces. and hit his effort high into the back of the stand behind the goal. You only need to look as far as Watford fans applauding Abdoulaye Doucoure on Wednesday evening for a prime example of that, as the midfielder was playing at Vicarage Road for the first time since leaving the club for Everton. However, for Dan Gosling, it didn't go that way at all. He did this with a glorious 30-yard ball that set Anthony Gordon free down the Blues' right. The England international hardly had much to do on Wednesday evening, but he had an important role to play in terms of his distribution. After claiming the ball in his own area, Pickford sought to launch a quick Everton breakaway. The former Everton midfielder was met with boos even at that stage, with the away section far from full at that point. There was a specific spell in the second half of the match which saw Everton pick their pressure up another gear in their attempts to find what could have been a crucial winning goal. You know it must have been a bad week when a manager has to start his programme notes by assuring his own supporters he did not 'snub' them.

Sean Dyche has commented on his quotes following Burnley's win over Everton last month and explained that his words had been taken out of context.

I felt, on that night, Everton were a bit like that - so I said it to the players at half time. "I said, 'Just to be clear, just watch the interview, look at the tone and my body language, I'm representing the truth of a management story. "He, just to be clear, said that - he said 'I've spoke to Sean'. I got his number and I made sure I said that this has been completely misconstrued. Out of respect for the world of management, I'm not going to do that. He graciously said, 'No no, I've spoke to Sean, all is fine'. Of course that story can't go away so quickly, so then it grows wings a little bit - and you're like woah woah, everyone's forgetting the fact that the two people involved said fair's fair." I got a lot of heat, I made a really innocent comment in that game - which I spoke to Frank Lampard directly about actually, and people forget that.
