Former Leeds United defender Jonathan Woodgate still believes that Everton’s away form could cost them in the battle to avoid relegation. The Toffees moved to within two points of Leeds and Burnley, still with a game in hand, following their 1-0 win over Chelsea at Goodison Park.
But Everton’s form on their own turf is not the reason behind their struggles this season, but more so their atrocious points return away from home. The Toffees have won just once on their travels, picking up six points in the process – which is comfortably the worst in the league.
And despite their recent improvement in results over recent weeks, their form on the road has remained as poor as ever, losing seven in a row – six of which have come under Frank Lampard. After their home win over Chelsea on Sunday, many now consider Everton as the favourites to stay up.
