Supercomputer Tips Everton to Avoid Relegation Despite 10 Point Deduction

• Everton’s chances of surviving the Premier League have been calculated by a Supercomputer
• The Toffees were deducted 10 points after being found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules
• They sit 19th on the log after the sanction, with only goal difference keeping them off the bottom

A supercomputer has attempted to predict where Everton will finish in the league after points deduction on Friday, November 17.

The Merseyside club were dealt a blow as they were deducted 10 points for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules, a setback which sent them from 14th to 19th in the Premier League table.

For a team that was already struggling in the Premier League, a point deduction will surely increase The Toffees’ chances of dropping to the Championship.

But Everton fans can breathe a sigh of relief as a supercomputer has tipped The Toffees to have a better season than Pompey.

1.) Manchester City

2.) Arsenal

3.) Liverpool

Man City tipped to win again

Manchester City have been tipped to clinch the Premier League title for a record fourth time in a row, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle rounding off the top four.

According to the supercomputer, Manchester United will end the season in a lowly eighth place, below a resurgent Chelsea who have been tipped for a seventh place finish.

History of points deduction

Sports Brief also reported on the first Premier League club to get slapped with a points deduction.

Middlesbrough became the first team to be slapped with a point-deduction sanction in 1997.

Boro failed to report for a game against Blackburn Rovers in December 1996 as manager Bryan Robson claimed he was devoid of more than 23 players who were reportedly ill.
