"Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. The Premier League table has been a table of the unexpected for the last couple of months, but now the usual top three Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool are in place and that's the end of the that. Wrong! Okay, possibly wrong! Sunderland, the team of the season so far, will jump back up to second if they beat Everton at the Stadium of Light."
"More importantly, in the grand scheme, a win would take them to 20 points halfway to reaching 40, though you don't need that many to avoid relegation any more. In the last two seasons, 27 points would have been enough. Everton's relegation battles feel like a thing of the past, even if they are only four points above 18th-placed West Ham."
The Guardian launched a daily football game called On the ball, now available in the app for iOS and Android. The Premier League table had several surprises recently, but Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool are back in the usual top three. Sunderland can move to second with a win over Everton at the Stadium of Light. A win would take Sunderland to 20 points, halfway toward 40, while 27 points sufficed to avoid relegation in the last two seasons. Everton sit four points above 18th-placed West Ham. Everton's away form shows one win at Wolves and three defeats, two of them at Anfield and the Etihad. Kick-off is at 8pm.
