Even though we are eager to see what is going on at the top with the fight between Arsenal and Manchester City, we are diving a little lower on the board to analyze a clash between the 15th-placed Everton and the 20th, Sheffield United.
The upcoming match will have the incentive that neither team has something at stake, so without pressure on their shoulders, everything could happen.

Why Bet on Everton?
The hosts for the clash are the 15th-placed Everton, who have been better at the end of the season, getting ten points in their last four matches and flying away from the relegation zone.
Their record is 12 wins, 9 draws, and 15 losses, but they managed to get four of those wins in their last six clashes. Their number of wins is on par with teams like West Ham and Brighton, who fought for European positions at some point. So, it’s not out of order to say that their season could have been pretty different if it wasn’t for the points deduction.
In front of them and their stadium, they face the worst team of the season and one of the worst in Premier League history, so everything is in their favor.
Why Bet on Sheffield United?
The visitors are at the bottom, eight points behind the 19th-placed team, and 13 from Salvation, so it’s not necessary to say that they are already relegated. The team’s season has been a nightmare, even worse than their previous campaign in the Premier League when they got relegated on a low note. Only three wins in 36 matches are shocking numbers, and not even winning their last two could make up a little.
They have seven draws and 26 losses, being just three defeats shy of Derby County’s record-breaking season in 2007-2008, with the chance of losing two more. In terms of goals scored, they have less than matches played (35) and have received 100 (eleven more than the already mentioned Rams in their torrid campaign.)
Currently, returning to the Championship is a blessing more than anything else.
Final Betting Analysis:Â Everton vs. Sheffield UnitedÂ
Everton can finish the season positively and try to carry that momentum to the next one. In terms of FFP issues, they should already be clear, so the next campaign must be calmer if they maintain or increase their level.
Everton is the team with the longest span in the English first division, while Sheffield has been, since the second half of the last century, a lower divisions side most of the time. In this context, it’s clear that they don’t face a lot. In the last eight matches, the Toffees won four, the Blades two, and there were two draws. Their previous match was a 2-2 draw.
We’ll go for a 2-0 Everton victory.
Go for a win for the locals at 1.469. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $46.9 for a total payout of $146.9.
