Fight for Premier League survival

Everton points deduction: Rob Edwards and Nuno Espirito Santo reactSheffield United and Burnley are 11 points from Premier League safety and look doomed heading into the final stages of the season.

But who else is facing the threat of being relegated to the Championship? And which teams will stay up?

Bournemouth took a huge leap towards safety with a 2-0 win at Turf Moor on Sunday, lifting them 11 points above the relegation zone with a game in hand on most of their rivals.

Only eight points separate 18th-placed Luton and the four teams immediately above them – Nottingham Forest, Brentford, Everton and Crystal Palace.

But it’s complicated…Both Everton and Forest face anxious waits after being charged in January for alleged breaches in their accounts for 2022-23.

Forest’s case will be heard on Thursday 7 and Friday 8 March.

If they are found to have breached rules, they face a points deduction. A verdict is not expected until April and would be subject to appeal.

Any appeal could take that process to 24 May, the week after the season concludes on 19 May.

In November, Everton were immediately docked 10 points for breaking profit and sustainability rules (PSR) in the three-year period to 2021-22.

However, that penalty was reduced to six points after an appeal.
