Premier League: Everton host Brentford after Blades relegated
There’s little sympathy for Liverpool’s plight around these parts, with the Reds’ title hopes in Jurgen Klopp’s farewell taking another huge blow following today’s draw at West Ham, just three days after THAT loss against Merseyside rivals Everton.
The Toffees have had another sticky season but back-to-back home wins with clean sheets has dragged them clear of the bottom three and avoiding defeat against Brentford today will all-but secure their top-flight status for another season.
It has been the perfect reaction to the 6-0 hammering at Chelsea not so long ago, with Sean Dyche admitting on Wednesday that he is now flavour of the month, with it not being the case after the result at Stamford Bridge.
“After our loss at Chelsea two weeks ago, I asked our Toffees to rise and get behind us and, my word, have you done that. Your support for the Nottingham Forest game was incredible, whilst the noise and support for the derby was off the scale and the reaction to the team’s performance was amazing. We all cannot thank you enough.”
