c. However, Iwobi has been one of the Toffees’ top players this season, and the 26-year-old could have a big role to play in Everton’s survival bid.
Can Toffees Survive the Drop?
Everton is having another tough season in the English Premier League. However, the Merseysiders have shown an improvement under new boss Sean Dyche. Head over to bettors.co.zm for Zambia’s extensive betting guide. Bettors can get -225 for Everton to stay up, while Dyche’s troops are priced at +200 to drop down to the EFL Championship.
There are still plenty of games to play in the 2022-23 Premier league season, and the fight for survival is likely to go to the wire this year. Things are extremely congested in the bottom half of the table, with just a handful of points separating 12th to 20th. It could be one of the closest relegation battles in Premier League history.
Iwobi a Key Player for Everton & Nigeria
Iwobi has been in excellent form for Everton this season. The Nigeria international has been a mainstay in the Toffees team, putting in a number of top displays in attack. As seen in www.premierleague.com/match/75006 Iwobi was on target in a league game against Manchester United back in October and has chipped in with several assists throughout the season.

With games coming thick and fast from now until the end of the Premier League campaign, Dyche will need his squad of players firing on all cylinders more than ever right now. Everton has some big players in their roster, and Iwobi is right up there with the most important. He made his Premier League debut in 2015 and has had eight years at the top level of English soccer.
Everton still has to play the likes of Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bournemouth, who are all fighting for survival. As discussed in www.brentfordfc.com/en/match/everton-vs-brentford-english-premier-league-2023-03-11, Everton has been strong at home under Dyche, but three of those matches are on the road. Still, the Merseyside club will back themselves to survive.

Iwobi also has a big role to play in the future of the Nigeria national soccer team. The Lagos-born star has racked up over 60 appearances for his national side since making his senior debut back in 2015. He has scored a hatful of goals for the Super Eagles along the way.
Nigeria could do with Iwobi’s expertise after suffering a bad run of form of late. Ahead of the March 2023 African Cup of Nations qualifiers, Nigeria picked up just two wins from 12 matches, losing five in a row between August and November of 2022.
Iwobi has grown into the season and has slowly but surely become a big hit with Everton fans. There are just a couple of months of the 2022-23 league campaign to go, and Iwobi is looking to keep up his fine run of form as Everton seek Premier League survival.
