Leicester v Everton

[Ayresome_park]

I don't think it's a given Leicester will stay up. It's gonna be a battle between Everton, Leicester, Forest and Leeds. Two of those will go down with West Ham outsiders. Think Forest might stay up, and could be between Leicester and Leeds for the other spot. Exciting relegation battle over the next couple of weeks. However main thing is Boro winning the play-offs!

I've just had a look at the remaining fixtures for Everton, Leicester, Leeds and forest and I can't see any of them picking up more than 4 points each with the games they have left to play. I think that extra point and there better goal difference will keep Leicester up. I think Everton and Southampton will go then it's between forest and Leeds and I can't stand Leeds utd so it's them for me.

Forest are awful. Defence like a sieve. No continuity - too big a squad.
Of all of them I think Leicester stand a better chance because Dean Smith has experience and a cool head. John Terry is also working with the keepers and defenders.
They have been left with a momentous task. Tonight was a golden opportunity missed. Its a funny old game.

Leicester really blew a great chance tonight. At least TWO teams closed on Leeds. As I'm totally neutral after that it's fascinating to see what happens. I think Everton are dreadful, but by Leicester not taking the golden chance they got a point more than I expected

I had a few pints with a mate who is a Leeds season ticket holder yesterday and he feels that Leeds will be relegated. He's always been positive in the past but believes they are in an awful place and void of confidence.

Teams always pick up points where you don't expect them and lose them elsewhere.
Everton could easily pick up 7 points. Raise their game against City and get a draw. Play Wolves and Bournemouth teams who are on the beach and win both.
Leicester could pick up 9 points from Liverpool (random), Fulham and West Ham.
Leeds have the stench of death about them but could still win their last two games against teams who are likely to have little to play for.
Forest have two games against Chelsea and Palace who will be playing in their slippers and one crunch game against Southampton. Again, they could pick up 9 points.
Clearly this won't happen for every team but at least one of those 4 teams is going to get 6-7 points in the next 4 games while one team will probably end up with 2 points. At this point you might as well roll some dice.

Leicester and Forest look to still have some club unity. Everton have a bit. Leeds feel like they could implode. If Everton do escape they probably have Pickford's water bottle to thank for it.

No fancy Sky TV money every month either.
Tuff innit?!

Their parachute payments wiill have been funded by TV monies and give them a big advantage over the rest. Yes they will have to jettison some players who have been basically terrible anyway. I can see them doing a Burnley next season if they go down

Not being in the spotlight and competing with Plymouth will put a different complexion on things. Their fans will have to get used to different KO times they`ve become used to. Parachute payments wont cover their huge wage bills and ongoing contractual agreements, where they are still paying for players already signed. Lets not forget the cost of their wonderful new stadia, which is already a big commitment. good luck to them. They`l enjoy trips to Plymouth, Rotherham and possibly Barnsley.
