If the points deduction sanction is imposed again on Everton, then I think Sean Dyche fleet will have difficulty surviving in the EPL next season. It is true that there are 17 remaining EPL matches in the future, but I don't think Everton will be able to sweep all the matches and get full points. Because there are several big clubs to face, where these elite clubs almost always create a tradition of beating Everton to increase their points. On the other hand, the player mental factor will definitely have an impact due to points being deducted for the second time, it is very reasonable why Everton is having difficulty staying in the EPL.

Currently, the number of points scored by Everton is 17, if you subtract another 10 points it becomes 7. So Everton position will automatically be at the bottom of the standings, 9 points adrift of Luton. However, if Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United still have the same performance and there is no improvement, then Everton chance of escaping the degradation zone will be open again. I think that is the only scenario that will happen, provided that Everton itself must be able to target full points when facing mediocre clubs.

I'm also curious whether the sanctions imposed should be in the form of points deductions, or whether there are other sanctions that could allow Everton to escape this time. I mean something like a fine in the form of a certain amount of money, in this case I don't know the details and flow. Apart from that, if Nottingham Forest also receives sanctions such as points deductions, then Everton competition to escape the degradation zone will be even tougher. It is reported that currently both clubs are waiting for the final decision, and in particular Everton plans to submit an appeal to defend themselves.

There are many scenarios that could occur if Everton suffer another points deduction this season. They must try as hard as possible to keep winning points every game and fight to escape the relegation zone. Of course this is a bad moment for Everton and their players, but they can still recover to at least survive in the Premier League next season.

But the problem is, Everton's performance so far has been very poor. They have suffered 10 defeats in 21 matches and what is worse is that they have suffered 3 consecutive defeats in their last 4 matches. The team's performance is really poor and it will make it even more difficult for them to stay in the Premier League if Everton get a points deduction.
