The Toffees are currently fighting for survival near the bottom of the table. They have been deducted six points for breaking the league’s financial rules in two separate instances, one for the 2021/22 season and the other for the 2022/23 season. Despite this setback, they still have a game in hand on their relegation rivals.
Everton has expressed concern over the inconsistency of points deductions applied and has thanked its fans for their patience and support. The club is preparing to appeal the Commission’s decision, but the appeals process may not be completed until after the season ends. There is uncertainty about whether Everton will be relegated, as the appeals process might not be concluded until later in the summer.
Nottingham Forest is also awaiting the results of their appeal after receiving a four-point deduction in March.
