David Moyes believes Everton will be able to fight their way out of the relegation battle despite a 2-1 defeat against West Ham United on Sunday afternoon. The Toffees are firmly still in the fight to stay in the division and haven't particularly lost any ground on their rivals as Watford, Leeds United and Burnley all failed to win.
However, defeat at the London Stadium leaves Frank Lampard's side with the worst away form in the Premier League and teetering above the relegation zone ahead of a crucial clash at Burnley. This has been billed as a 'six-pointer' in the fight to stay in the division, with Watford and Leeds watching on hoping for the perfect result.
Everton still have ten matches to play but do still have to fae six of the top-nine before the end of the season. There are a couple of matches that the Toffees will target, though, with Burnley, Watford, Crystal Palace and Brentford coming up.

Meanwhile, Leeds have played three more matches than the Toffees but sit five points above them in the table. Watford and Burnley both lie inside the bottom three and are three and four points behind. And Moyes has claimed that Everton will have enough to stay up.
He said: "I think they'll be ok. When you have the quality in the forward players that Everton have got, I think it gives you a great chance.
"A Brazil centre-forward, and England centre-forward, they've got players in the wide areas who can score goals as well. So I think Everton have got a lot of things going for them, I think they should feel more positive about it.
"I understand, I've been there recently and not stayed up with Sunderland. I've been there a couple of times with West Ham when I have - but it's not a good place to be. I think Everton have got quality in some areas that other clubs won't have."
