Rafa Benitez has backed Everton to avoid relegation this season, insisting the supporters can play a key role in helping the team remain afloat.
Sean Dyche's side currently sit level on points with 18th-placed Nottingham Forest and may well require a run similar to last season, which saw the team win three of their final six matches, to ensure they will be playing Premier League football next season.
It was Frank Lampard who steered the Blues to safety at the back end of last term, having replaced Benitez as manager in January of last year. Everton find themselves in a precarious position once again 12 months down the line, though there are more teams at risk of relegation this time around.
