Everton Premier League relegation odds slashed to just 2/1 following 10-point deduction

Everton find themselves at the bottom of the Premier League table after being denied ten points by the Premier League.

This deduction has forced bookmakers to review their relegation markets – but it’s not all bad news for the Toffees.

In fact, Coral still have three of Everton’s Premier League rivals with lower odds of relegation than the Merseyside club this season.

It is partly down to the clubs they now face in the battle to avoid relegation, with Luton, Sheffield United and Burnley having offered very little since their promotions last season.

But it’s also about the great level that Everton has shown under Sean Dyche.

They have taken seven points from their last three Premier League matches – West Ham (A), Brighton (H) and Crystal Palace (A).

While the 3-0 thrashing of Burnley in the Carabao Cup falls within that.

That’s enough for Coral to suggest they will still collect enough points to stay alive, and they are now 2/1 to relegation – after being 9/2 this morning.

Luton (1/5), Sheffield United (1/5) and Burnley (8/13) still occupy the three places at the top of this betting market.

Burnley lags behind Everton on goal difference, as the duo now have four points, while the Blades are one point ahead of Luton, who are now outside the relegation zones with six points.

It then comes down to nine points to find Bournemouth trailing 12/5 and Fulham a further three points ahead at 13/2.

Everton have of course revealed that they will appeal the decision until this market proves vital as the season continues.

Coral’s John Hill said: “Although Everton’s 10-point deduction puts them in the bottom three, we still think there is a good chance of surviving relegation, as Luton, Sheffield United and Burnley still have relegation prospects.

“The Toffees were as big as 9-2 in the relegation bet ahead of the opposition, but they are now just 2-1 to lose their top-flight status this season.”
