Everton vs Crystal Palace: Simon Jordan makes Premier League relegation prediction on talkSPORT

Jordan does not think the Eagles will be demoted, but he does think Everton will overcome Crystal Palace in their next match.

On Monday night, 19 February, the two teams square off in a major Premier League match at Goodison Park at the bottom end.

Palace are badly out of form and are just five points above Everton, who occupy the final relegation spot having had 10 points deducted.

While Jordan expects that gap to become even tighter, he does not believe the club he was previously chairman of will drop into the Championship.

“Going to Everton at the weekend, do I expect Palace to beat Everton? No, not really,” he said on talkSPORT [15 February, 11:04].

“I expect Palace to be in the game and make it difficult, but Everton to get across the line one way or another.

The Palace example is pertinent because they travel to Goodison next week. Should Everton win that, there is no doubt the Eagles are in trouble.

It is all well and good Jordan saying ‘if they win this, win that’, but the bottom line is they cannot win games at the moment.

That is why this upcoming clash is so massive for both clubs. At this point of the season, a two-point gap or eight-point gap can make a huge difference.
