Who do Everton play next?

Everton’s next fixture will be a tough clash against title favourites Manchester City at Goodison Park. They will then travel to Molineux to take on Wolves before their season finale against Bournemouth at home.

Nottingham Forest, who are just one point ahead of the Blues in the table on 33, recently came out on top of a seven-goal thriller against Southampton. Next up for them is Chelsea at Stamford Bridge before hosting Arsenal at the City Ground and their final fixture against Crystal Palace on the road.

Leicester City, who currently occupy 18th place in the table, will take on Liverpool at home before shifting attention to Newcastle at St James’ Park and finally West Ham at the King Power Stadium.

Leeds United are level with Leicester on 30 points but are a place behind due to goal difference. They will enter their next clash against Newcastle in desperate need of a positive result, having gone six matches now without a win. After that, West Ham await at the London Stadium before an Elland Road face off with Tottenham Hotspur rounds off their season.

Bottom-of-the-table Southampton’s chances look bleak. With 24 points, they will need to win all three of their upcoming games to even stand a chance of survival. Up next for the Saints after their 4-3 loss to Forest is Fulham at home, followed by Brighton at the Amex and then finally, Liverpool at St Mary’s.
