Everton have their sights set on Europe heading into the final three games of the Premier League season.
David Moyes’ side are sitting in 10th and currently reside three points adrift of seventh-placed Brentford, who occupy a Conference League spot.
Everton know they’ll probably have to win all three games to stand a chance of finishing in the top seven, so there’s no room for error.
Let us know your prediction for Sunday’s trip to Crystal Palace… 😬
Everton have not lost to Palace since 2022, but three points are now essential! 💪
Even still, it’s a nice position to be in as the Toffees have had to contend with relegation battles over the last few seasons.
Despite moving forward as a club, Tony Bellew has admitted he still fears relegation.
Tony Bellew explains why he still fears Everton relegation
Tottenham Hotspur have been thrown into an unexpected relegation battle this season as they sit just a point above the bottom three.
It shows how quickly things can change at a football club with the wrong managerial appointments and poor recruitment.
For that reason, Bellew has admitted that if Spurs do drop, he does worry a bit for Everton.
“To be honest, if Spurs go, in my mind, it makes me believe we can go,” the former World Champion boxer told The Outside The Box podcast.
“I don’t believe Everton can go, but that’s what frightens me the most, if they go, then I know that we can go.”

Bellew has always been David Moyes’ biggest defender and has warned fans to be careful what they wish for.
“I’m telling you guys, what he done at West Ham, he can more than do at Everton. You just need time and you’ve got to back the manager. This revolving door with managers has got to stop,” the 43-year-old said last year.
There is certainly some truth in that, and he makes a good point about how Tottenham are the perfect example of substandard planning.
Whilst a section of the Toffees fanbase would love more progressive football and the youth to be given opportunities, we know that Moyes is building steadily, and there’s much less risk of relegation with him in charge.
