Premier League Relegation Odds: Everton back in the mix after reaching 33/1 on Sunday

oddschecker | 09:48 Monday 16th May 2022

Everton reached 33/1 in the Premier League relegation odds when they took the lead against Brentford but are back down at best price 15/2 after slipping to a 2-3 defeat.

Frank Lampard’s side looked like they were on the brink of securing Premier League safety when Dominic Calvert-Lewin turned in Richarlison’s goal-bound shot for an early lead against Brentford. However, two red cards and a 2-3 reverse later, the Toffees (15/2) probably still need one more win.

Can Everton avoid final day drama?

They will get another chance at Goodison Park on Thursday night against Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace, before travelling to the Emirates on Sunday for a tough looking final day assignment with Arsenal chasing the last top four spot.

Brentford themselves will play another starring role in the Premier League survival race when they take on Leeds (now 14/19 to stay up) at home on the final day. Everton know that one win from two will be enough to finish ahead of Leeds, irrespective of how Jesse Marsch’s men get on at Brentford.

Burnley (best price 13/8 to beat the drop), by contrast, have two more chances to pick up the points they need to guarantee safety, but would need four points from their matches at Villa and home to Newcastle if Leeds were to win at Brentford.

Southampton safe after Leeds draw

This time last week, Southampton were still mathematically in the relegation mix but Leeds’ failure to beat Brighton means that the Saints are safe for a 10th straight season. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side are winless in four ahead (one goal scored) ahead of their match with Liverpool on Tuesday night.

The bookies have Everton as even money favourites (best price 21/20) to get the win they need against Crystal Palace on Thursday. Burnley, meanwhile, are 11/4 to win at Aston Villa on the same day – meaning that the expected results would take the survival race down to a thrilling final day.
