One of six teams to have never been demoted from the premier league, could this be the year?
Their misery was compounded by the fact that both of their rivals picked up important wins.
The pressure is on at Goodison Park as the team is now above the bottom three on goal difference.
Who were the big winners at the bottom of the table, and how much trouble are they in?
In the six games since the change of managers, the Toffees have lost five and won one.

Sean Dyche's men are one point from safety.

Dele Alli from Spurs was signed for a fee that could reach 40 million dollars, and a Manchester United player was signed for a fee that could be even higher.
Their new additions have not led to an upturn in fortunes.
There are so many players with a lot of quality, but I think thatEverton have bought players for the sake of buying them.
It is hard to see how they are in the place they are with players who have so much quality. They are fighting at the bottom of the table.
If they play like they did against Spurs, it will be hard for them to stay up.
Over their final 12 games of the season, they have to face five of the top six.
Mason Holgate said there was no hiding place for his team-mates after the defeat to Wolves.
No matter what club you are at or what your history is, nobody wants to be demoted. If you look at the squad, we shouldn't be near here, but we have to deal with it.
