Who will be relegated? Claret and Hugh’s final prediction

This is the final part of the CandH review of our fellow relegation candidates…..with the final predictions on whom we believe with slide into the Championship below!

Everton pulled off a great escape last season and fans will have been hoping that ex Hammer Frank Lampard would lead them away from any relegation battle this season. But following a defeat to the Irons he was sacked and the ex Burnley man Sean Dyche made a return to the dugout. Known for his calm and stable approach to things, the hope was to turn things around.

After a promising start, a 1-0 win over the Gooners, further defeats have left them scrambling in the relegation zone.

Leeds away

Villa away

Liverpool away

Brighton home

Man Utd home

Brentford away

Southampton home

Palace away

The prediction is that they will end up with 36 points and a goal difference of – 24 and finish a too close for comfort 17^th in the table. The bookies suggest that they are 7/4 shots to go down.

Cand H points prediction: 36 points

Life at Leeds was going swimmingly in the early months of Jesse Marsch`s reign, but he soon found out the unforgiving nature of the Premier League by getting sacked last month. The ex Watford manager Javi Gracia has been brought in to steady the ship. A win against Southampton and Wolves leaves them two points above the dotted line.
