Everton boss Sean Dyche has played down the importance of Everton playing before Leeds United, Nottingham Forest Leicester City this weekend. The Toffees could in theory secure their Premier League status for next season if both aforementioned sides fail to win their respective games.
Everton take on Wolves on Saturday before Forest host Arsenal at the City Ground. Leeds take on West Ham United in the early kick-off on Sunday, with Leicester City taking on Newcastle at St. James' Park on Monday.
Dyche told the Liverpool Echo: “It’s the way the fixtures are thrown about by the Premier League, that’s the way it goes with Sky and the TV. It’s fair to say, I think there’s a balance view that everyone in the Premier League wants the money that comes in from the TV rights, therefore if they change the schedule, that’s the way it goes, you just have to go with it, that’s it.
