Everton are currently in 18th place in the Premier League table, after losing to Leicester City in their last outing.

Jamie Carragher has told Sky Sports, during their coverage of Everton’s match against Leicester City, that the Toffees will be in a relegation battle if they lose their next match.

Everton were beaten 2-0 by Leicester City at the King Power Stadium yesterday, and they now sit in 18th place in the Premier League table.

Everton are still within touching distance of those ahead of them, but there was a real pressure on them to find the winning formula sooner rather than later.

And Carragher claims that if Everton lose their next league match, then they will have to face up to the fact that they could go down this season.

“If the next game doesn’t go well then you have the next two weeks stewing,” Carragher said. “They have to get something in that Watford game next week. It certainly won’t be easy for them, but if you’re in the bottom three and lose to one of your rivals [in Leicester], that is a big worry.”

Everton have failed to win any of their last seven matches across all competitions, and Ronald Koeman’s departure does not seem to have kick started them into life.

David Unsworth is currently in temporary charge at Goodison Park, but he has lost both his matches at the helm.

Everton actually have a Europa League match against Lyon on Thursday next on their schedule, but their match against Watford is now of huge importance.

Watford have been one of the surprise packages in the Premier League this term, but they were beaten by Stoke City in their last outing.
