Sam Allardyce calls on Sunderland to secure survival against Everton via The Guardian

• Victory against Everton will guarantee safety with a game to go
• Allardyce desperate to avoid final-day drama at Watford
Some Sunderland supporters are already planning post-match parties on Wednesday night but Sam Allardyce has cautioned that his players may not find beating Everton quite as straightforward as advertised.

Victory against Roberto Martínez’s faltering yet still gifted side at the Stadium of Light would relegate Newcastle United and Norwich City while sealing the Wearside club’s Premier League safety.

Roberto Martínez denies it is inevitable he will be sacked as Everton manager via The Guardian

• Final away match of the season at Sunderland ‘is only thing that matters to me’
• ‘Everything you can question me about after final game against Norwich’
Roberto Martínez has denied it is inevitable he will be sacked as Everton manager in the coming days or that his position has been weakened by a lack of commitment from the team.

Everton travel to Sunderland for their final away game of the season on Wednesday with Martínez appearing on the brink of losing his job after three seasons. Calls for a change have increased among supporters in recent weeks and a feeble display at the newly crowned champions Leicester City on Saturday did not help his claims that he retains the backing of the players. Martínez uncharacteristically turned on his team after the 3-1 defeat at the King Power Stadium, accusing all but the inexperienced Matthew Pennington of lacking intensity and effort.

Everything to lose vs. nothing to play for. This may not be the Toffees finest day.

Sunderland is a much weaker team than Leicester City on paper. But Everton may struggle against the Black Cats just as much as they did with the Foxes. A win for the hosts secures their spot in the Premier League for the 2016-17 season. A draw would also be a decent result, while a loss would be a major blow.

Meanwhile, the Toffees have virtually nothing to play for apart from their own pride. It's pretty obvious from recent performances that they don't have much of that at this point.

Or maybe they are completely at the end of their rope with their manager, Roberto Martinez. The dead-gaffer-walking should have probably been sacked weeks ago when the team was knocked out of the FA Cup. Somehow, he has hung on and Everton have looked worse and worse each time out.

Does the board really want to send Martinez back to Goodison for the season finale at the weekend? Surely, that makes no sense. Let this be his final match. If you like the man so much, spare him from 90 more minutes of 40,000 Evertonians mocking him.
