Gary Neville has admitted he hears for Everton's Premier League safety after Saturday's home defeat by Fulham.
Sean Dyche's side fell to a 3-1 loss at Goodison Park, goals from Harrison Reed, Harry Wilson and Dan James ensuring it was a happy return to Merseyside for former Blues boss Marco Silva. Just how pivotal this defeat proves to be in the coming weeks remains to be seen.
Things don't get any easier for Everton next weekend when they take on Crystal Palace, who have turned a corner with Roy Hodgson back at the helm, before high-flying Newcastle United make the trip to L4 on April 27. Following the aforementioned two fixtures, Leicester City, Brighton, Manchester City, Wolves and Bournemouth complete the list of remaining opponents to face.

With Fulham being viewed as somewhat of a must-win game for Everton before heading into the final weeks of the season, Neville has expressed his concerns over whether Dyche's side truly have what it takes to survive.
"I think they [Nottingham Forest] will look at results, some go for them and some go against them, obviously Bournemouth have done brilliantly well but Everton, I would worry now for Everton," he told Sky Sports ahead of Nottingham Forest's home match with Manchester United on Sunday.
"I had Bournemouth going down a few weeks ago and I thought Forest would be in trouble but Everton, for some reason, I thought would get out of it. If you look at the fixtures they’ve got and some of the stuff that we saw yesterday; they get back in the game with a really good goal and you think' this is a game'," added Neville.
"Everybody would have looked at the Fulham game as almost one they would pick up three points in potentially, but then this happens. I have to say, I would be very worried if I was an Everton fan at this moment in time."
