Everton's 10 point deduction could have a major impact on the bottom end of the Premier League this season.
The Toffees were dumped into the relegation zone on Friday after being deducted 10 points for breaching the Premier League's financial regulations. They are 19th on four points, two behind Luton Town in 17th.

Despite Everton's deduction, the supercomputer's calculations suggest Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton Town are still most likely to be relegated. At the opposite end of the table, it is predicted Manchester City will retain their title, although they still have 115 charges hanging over their head.
