SHOCKING EVERTON BOMBSHELL: Fulham Set to DELIVER FATAL BLOW That Could See David Moyes SACKED ON THE SPOT!
Defeat to Fulham could intensify the pressure on David Moyes amid Everton’s inconsistent start to the season.
Despite the optimism surrounding Everton at the start of the season, the club once again finds itself stuck in a frustrating slump.
Following their 1-1 draw with Sunderland — a result they were arguably fortunate to earn — the Toffees have now managed just one win in their last eight matches across all competitions.
While relegation isn’t an immediate concern for the Merseyside outfit, pressure could start to mount on David Moyes if his side suffers another setback this weekend.
Everton risk consecutive home defeats for the first time since January
Regardless of whether a team is chasing the title, pushing for Europe, or battling at the bottom, maintaining strong home form is vital.
Away points are always welcome, but only when backed up by consistent results on home turf.
In their most recent home outing, Everton were comfortably beaten 3-0 by Tottenham Hotspur.
If Fulham leave the Hill Dickinson Stadium with all three points on Saturday, it would mark the first time since January that Everton have lost back-to-back home games.
The last time that happened under Moyes was back in 2011, highlighting how unusual such a run has been during his tenure.
This lack of progress will only intensify scrutiny of Moyes’ position, with many fans beginning to question whether he can steer the team forward.
Everton projected to narrowly avoid relegation
Though a relegation scrap seems unlikely at this stage, Everton’s current form leaves little room for comfort.
The Toffees are averaging 1.2 points per game this season — a pace that would see them finish on around 45 points by the campaign’s end.
While that total would have secured safety comfortably last season, the stronger showing from newly promoted clubs this year could raise the survival benchmark.
Historically, 40 points are needed to stay in the Premier League, meaning Everton’s current trajectory would leave them hovering just five points above that mark — a position that offers little reassurance for Moyes or the fans.
