There is no threat too early for Everton because this season is still very long. There are the next 26 matches that could see Everton return to mid-table or enter the top 10 because perhaps all the teams above them will slip due to changes in their form of play. I'm sure the points deduction they received will affect the team and its form, but they have to recover and get into good form in each of the next games. After all, this is not the end of everything for them and honestly they will learn a lot from their mistakes from now on.
Everton's performance in the last two seasons has indeed declined and they tend to struggle hard at the bottom to avoid relegation. Of course, they have to be very careful if they don't want to be relegated this season, especially after getting 10 points deducted for their mistake.
Remaining two points behind Luton Town as latest from relegation position its not really huge problem for Everton keep stay in Premier League next season after 10 points deduction. Have 26 matches left its more enough to secure minimum 41 points keep stay in Premier League competition, have advantage with current standings teams until 15th position behind collected 12 points will not difficult for Everton get finish target outside from relegation zone.
Realistic with Everton target in this season is how to make their position keep secure in premier league, they should focus on upcoming match against Manchester United after international break out and should take three points. Before half season, Everton should out from relegation zone if want make easy how to defend position in Premier League.
