It's got past the point of saying how crucial every match is for Everton. Everyone knows that the Blues are absolutely desperate to pick up as many points as possible as they continue their fight against relegation.
The point still stands that it's not really about what other sides do around them, as it still is in their hands whether they can confirm their place in the Premier League next season. But, realistically, everyone would have still found themselves meticulously checking the results of all the sides in the relegation zone over the past week.
Since Everton were last in action each of Norwich, Watford and Burnley have been in action twice. The former picked up three points, at the expense of Sean Dyche's side before his eventual sacking - while the other two teams only managed to pick up a singular point each.
