Despite losing 2-0 to Manchester United in the Premier League on April 8th, Everton is anticipated to narrowly avoid relegation.
Toffees appear to have benefited greatly by the Saturday losses of Nottingham Forest and Leicester City to Aston Villa and Bournemouth, respectively.
Sean Dyche's team will finish with 35 points and in 17th position, ahead of Leicester, Nottingham Forest, and Southampton, predicts FiveThirtyEight's Super Computer.
Everton is aware that in order to stay in the top flight, they must win at least three more games, and even that may not be enough. Naturally, the goal will be to reach 40 points, but based on the table, it appears that 38 would be sufficient, albeit the Super Computer is indicating 35.
Sean Dyche has done a wonderful job thus far, but the performances or results at home need to improve quickly. With games against Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea in his recent schedule, it is natural that the fixture list is more accommodating for them in the upcoming weeks.
They should strive to win both of their upcoming games against Fulham and Crystal Palace, which are both winnable. Their next two games are against Fulham at home and Crystal Palace away.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin may return for those games since there seems to be some encouraging news on the injury front, so Dyche will be hoping for that.
Regarding what the top of the Premier League table will look like at the end of the campaign, Based on the most recent matches in England's top division, the supercomputer has forecasted the final Premier League rankings, and the title fight between Arsenal and Manchester City is anticipated to be close.
"SPI ratings are our best estimate of a team’s overall strength," FiveThirtyEight explains. "In our system, every team has an offensive rating that represents the number of goals it would be expected to score against an average team on a neutral field, and a defensive rating that represents the number of goals it would be expected to concede."
"These ratings, in turn, produce an overall SPI rating, which represents the percentage of available points the team would be expected to take if that match were played over and over again."
According to the supercomputer, Manchester City has a 49% chance of winning the Premier League, while Arsenal has a 51% chance of doing so. As a result, there is almost any difference between the two teams competing for the title.
Arsenal should only surpass City with 88 points, who are now on 67 points, as City is predicted to achieve 87 points. Manchester City, however, are the clear favorites when the two teams play on April 26 at the Etihad Stadium. With a probability of winning the match of 59% compared to Arsenal's 25%, it is anticipated that the defending champions would make the title chase even more exciting.
Brighton is predicted to finish ahead of Tottenham in fifth place, with Newcastle United and Manchester United being heavily favored to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League. In terms of rankings, FiveThirtyEight places Liverpool fifth.
The team most likely to be relegated at the other end of the table is Southampton, who are predicted to finish with just 32 points. The remainder seems to be up in the air, but according to the supercomputer, they will be joined in the Championship by Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth in the upcoming season.
In fact, Forest are predicted to finish with 34 points, Bournemouth with 36, the same as Everton and Leicester City, but the latter two will remain up due to their superior goal differential.
