Everton added four points to the standings in their previous three matches, where they first beat Brighton 1-5. They were then defeated 0-3 against Manchester City, before drawing 1-1 against Wolverhampton. Everton claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Premier League, which also saw them drawing one and losing four matches, in which they scored four and conceded 13 goals.
