Phil McNulty updates his prediction for Everton’s relegation.

Phil McNulty thinks Everton will stay in the Premier League this season even after losing 10 points for going over budget.

The journalist said that although the Toffees are “labouring” as a result of their points reduction, the deduction has served as a “unifying force” for the team in an article on the BBC Sport website.
