After a poor start to the Premier League season, punters are backing Everton to be relegated.
After years of turmoil, Everton ended last season with a glimmer of hope. Despite an eight-point deduction, they managed to survive in the Premier League.
Their new stadium was nearing completion, and there were rumors that the troubled Farhad Moshiri era was coming to an end with a takeover on the horizon.
However, this optimism was short-lived. Sean Dyche's side has had a less-than-ideal start to the Premier League this season, losing both of their opening games.
They conceded seven goals and failed to score any, leaving them at the bottom of the table after facing Everton and Tottenham.
Having finished in the bottom six for the past three seasons, concerns are already growing for the Toffees. Many believe this could be the year they finally face relegation.
In fact, 21% of bets placed on the Premier League relegation market through Oddschecker in the past week have backed Everton to drop down to the Championship.

Everton Relegation Odds
Everton are currently at a best price of 9/4 with LiveScoreBet to be relegated from the Premier League this season.
Last season, their strong defensive unit played a crucial role in keeping them up, as they boasted the fourth-best defensive record in the league, conceding just 48 goals across 38 games.
However, this season has already raised concerns for manager Sean Dyche, as the team has conceded 17% of last season's total in just two matches.
Adding to their woes, there are rumors that star defender Jarrad Branthwaite could leave before the transfer window closes, potentially making a difficult situation even worse for the Toffees.
