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.
This will be a bad blow to Everton performance this season because if a second penalty is imposed (deduction of 10) for Everton this season of course they will drop into the relegation zone. Moreover, Everton recent performance has not improved much, of course it will really affect the mentality of Dyche men if they are proven guilty and are sentenced to a point deduction again. Previously, there was a lot of news circulating that Manchester City also violated many rules, but only Everton were sanctioned this season. I think the authorities in the Premier League don't have enough strong evidence to impose punishment on Manchester City.
But for the time being, the second punishment for Everton has not yet been proven strongly if they violated financial regulations and is still under investigation. I hope Everton can escape accusations of violations because Everton is a team with many good players this season so they will be able to turn things around to improve their ranking if these accusations are not proven later. Apart from that, in today's match Everton performed well by winning the match against Crystal Palace with a score of 1-0. In this match Everton did not appear too impressive but they were able to maintain their advantage through the goal scored by Gomes.
