Burnley's new predicted final finish and points tally after Everton defeat
Burnley’s already slim survival hopes took another major dent in midweek with their defeat at Everton.
Scott Parker’s side served up a flat, passive display on the club’s first ever visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium as they fell to a 2-0 reversal.
With results elsewhere, it leaves them nine points adrift of safety with only nine games now remaining.
Elsewhere in the fight for survival, Tottenham suffered another major blow, going down to a 3-1 loss at home to Crystal Palace – which leaves them hovering just a point above that dreaded dropzone.
Nottingham Forest picked up an important point away at Manchester City, while West Ham were 1-0 winners at Fulham.
Leeds United were beaten 1-0 at home by Sunderland, while bottom side Wolves continued their mini-resurgence with a surprise win over Liverpool.
