A former Aston Villa favourite has warned Everton that they face a relegation battle after falling to another disappointing home defeat.
Steven Gerrard 's side beat the Blues by the odd goal on Saturday afternoon, with Emi Buendia rippling the net with a looping header shortly before half-time.
The defeat leaves Everton only four points clear of the relegation zone, with both Norwich City and Newcastle United picking up wins this weekend which will boost their respective survival hopes.
