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.
Last season Everton was only able to win 8 matches and draw 12 from 38 matches, but they only had 2 points more than relegated Leicester. Everton were only saved by matchday 38 last season, otherwise they would also have been relegated. Of course this season they have the chance to stay in the Premier League, but in my opinion it is not easy for those whose performance has been inconsistent in the last two seasons.
But either way, Everton can still be expected to find themselves this season. They need to work hard to prove that and personally I believe they can do it. They just need more effort and hard work after being deducted points, but they are still better than some other teams such as Luton Town and Bournemouth if they don't get deducted 10 points.
