Everton were awarded four points back from the Premier League on Monday after a successful appeal against their 10-point deduction.

The outcome lifts Sean Dyche’s side to 15th in the standings, five points clear of Luton Town, who occupy 18th position.

For the most part, a sense of relief will emerge at Goodison Park, with Everton’s relegation woes now eased.

However, the club isn’t entirely clear yet, with a second Premier League charge looming.

Everton, along with Nottingham Forest, are set to find out their punishment in the middle of April.

After four points were awarded back, Jamie Carragher has predicted how many further points will be docked.

Jamie Carragher makes Everton points prediction

Talking on the Stick to Football Podcast, the former Liverpool defender believes one or two more points will be taken when the second verdict is reached.

“The problem with Everton is that this new sanction includes two from the previous two years,” he said.

“So they’ll be saying, ‘we can’t get six points after we’ve already been punished. I think Everton will get one or two points, and Forest will probably get six.”

End-of-season uncertainty in store

Everton could well be set for a highly uncertain end of the season.

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, the league table could still be subject to change after the final ball has been kicked.

Talking on The Athletic Football Podcast, Ornstein has detailed how a “farcical” situation could emerge at the end of the season.

“The big thing is that it is not over by any means. We are only partway through the process. Which kind of underlines the mess we are in,” he said.

“The” second charge for Everton and first for Nottingham Forest need to be wrapped up by mid-April, but it’s conceivable that we won’t get an absolute conclusion until the 24th of May.

“Which is five days after the end of the season, in time for the AGM in which places are allocated for the subsequent season.

“So we could have the likes of Everton and Burnley playing on the final day, not knowing if they will be playing in the Premier League next season. That feels pretty farcical.”

Considering the situation, the Premier League should certainly consider being flexible regarding the AGM for any appeal process to occur before the season ends.

However, considering the governing body’s previous form, it isn’t very likely.
