Everton hero Anders Limpar has warned Sean Dyche and his current crop it could take five years to return to the Premier League if they are relegated this season.
With two games remaining, safety is still in hand for the Blues as they are one point above Leeds United who occupy 18th position in the standings. Leicester City and Nottingham Forest also have to be factored in and it will be two from those four who follow Southampton into the Championship.
Dyche and his Everton players take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday afternoon (3pm), before a final day showdown vs Bournemouth at Goodison Park (Sunday, May 28 at 4.30pm). While things are shaping up for a tense finale, the Blues could actually rubber-stamp top-flight status this weekend if results go their way, but there is enough fear lingering - according to Limpar.
