With just 10 games to go in the Premier League season, Everton know they will need all the luck they can get to keep them away from the relegation trap door.
Having escaped the drop last season with a come-from-behind victory against Crystal Palace at Goodison Park confirming their safety, the Blues have endured another difficult season that resulted in a return to the bottom three before Frank Lampard was given his marching orders at the end of January.
His replacement, Sean Dyche, has fared better however, winning three and drawing two of his first eight matches in charge, helping to pull the struggling Toffees up to 15th in the table and offering renewed hope of survival for supporters.
