talkSPORT Pundit Shares Everton Relegation Prediction After Player Insight
Darren Bent Believes Sean Dyche's Attention to Detail Ensures Everton's Premier League Survival
On talkSPORT (25 October, 5:44 pm), former England striker Darren Bent expressed confidence in Everton’s ability to avoid relegation this season, partly based on a recent conversation with Toffees veteran Ashley Young.
Everton had a rocky start, losing their first four matches, but they’ve since stabilized with a four-game unbeaten streak and will play Fulham on 26 October following a 2-0 victory over Ipswich.
Bent commented, “There’s no way that Everton are going down.
At the season’s start, I thought they might struggle due to a rough beginning, but under Sean Dyche, every player understands their role.
I spoke with Ashley Young recently, and he shared Dyche’s meticulous approach. From start to finish each week, everyone knows what’s expected. They are not going down.”
Despite their poor start, Everton’s turnaround has been impressive.
Their initial four losses included heavy defeats—3-0 and 4-0—and two 3-2 losses where they surrendered a 2-0 lead.
Such performances would test any fan’s faith, yet Everton has since rebounded, with Dyche’s squad achieving two wins, two draws, and two clean sheets.
Ashley Young, once doubted by fans, has been a standout player in this revival.
Though injuries have hampered the squad, they are beginning to find rhythm.
Dyche will welcome back several players from injury ahead of the Fulham match on 26 October, which could further strengthen a Blues team on an upward trajectory【Everton on X, 24 October】.
With Dyche’s disciplined approach and players regaining form, Everton appears positioned to continue improving, inspiring renewed hope for fans and possibly securing their Premier League status.
