    I agree, not only are you asking for a real collapse from Everton, but you're also relying on Luton picking up points. Even if you went with the lowest of points expectations for Everton it's a minimum of 4... Luton would need 7 to stay up considering GD.

    Hard to see Luton picking up 7, particularly as the pressure mounts. That collapse away at Bournemouth undid any real prospect of them staying up.

    The Premier League powers that be have been as passive/aggressive as possible to Everton. A punishment, yes, but never enough to condemn them to the unthinkable. They are one of the chosen few in the top division.

    Relying on Luton and Forest to pick up points

    Luton are level on points with Forest, I don't think their prospects of staying up are as dire as you're suggesting. If Luton are still 2 points off Everton going into their home game against them next month then it's very much game on.
