Everton will face Swansea, Watford, and Arsenal in their remaining fixtures in May. Can they end the season on a high?

Everton, seventh in the Premier League, have an interesting run of games in the final month of the 2016-17 campaign. Can they end the season on a high?
Swansea 1-1 Everton
It is not easy to win games away from home, especially against the relegation threatened teams towards the business end of the season.
Swansea City’s best chance of survival is by winning games at home. Everton haven’t won their last six away games in the Premier League and will find it hard to come away with full three points from the Liberty Stadium.
Furthermore, Swansea are undefeated against Everton in their last six meetings. A draw is the most likely outcome.

Everton 3-0 Watford
The Toffees have been ruthless against mid-table or bottom teams in the Premier League at home this season.
They have managed 12 wins and four draws from their 18 home games in the entire season. Since January, they have beaten the likes of Southampton, Manchester City, Bournemouth, West Brom, Hull City, Leicester City and Burnley at Goodison Park, while scoring three or more goals against each of them.
Watford have shown signs of revival in recent months but it is hard to see them getting a positive result.
Arsenal 3-1 Everton
Everton have a poor record against Arsenal away from home, having failed to win on the road against the Gunners since 1996/97.
Arsenal could be in the mix for a top four finish still, and they will be charged up to end the season on a high.
Everton are likely to retain their seventh position, but chances of moving above Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester United are very slim.
