We are not actually safe just yet. While i would rather have the points in the bag, Everton do have a couple of games in hand. I'll not exhale until we are mathematically safe :-))
A few weeks back, before Sean Dyche was sacked, my friend and i were discussing whether or not we would survive. Looking at the then remaining fixtures, i did point out that, after the Chelsea and City matches, most of our remaining home games were 'winnable', as were one or two away games (i did have Norwich (lost 2-0) and Watford (won 2-1) in mind when i said that. I also expected at least a draw at West Ham as we nearly always do well there - a game we would have won but for Cornet missing the only penalty we have been awarded all season!
We may beat Villa at home, but i believe we'll lose the away game, probably lose to Spurs, too and hopefully by the time we meet Newcastle in the season's finale, our future will be decided. And i hope it's still a PL future.
