Iwobi reveals what Everton must do to avoid relegation

Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi believes the team stands a chance of surviving relegation if they approach their remaining games with the same mentality they adopted against league leaders, Arsenal.

The struggling Merseyside side stunned the Gunners by a lone goal on matchday 22 at Goodison Park in what was new manager Sean Dych's first game at the helm following the sacking of Frank Lampard.

Sadly, however, the Toffees couldn't replicate that same performance against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby last weekend as they lost 2-0 to the Reds at Anfield.

Iwobi and his Everton side have managed just 18 points after 22 games and currently sit 18th in the Premier League, but the former Arsenal man believes a change of mentality can help turn the team's fortunes around.

“It is a mindset thing. It is having that mentality to go into every game like we did against Arsenal.

“Maybe that wasn’t the same 13 games ago. We have to produce it consistently now. That’s what the manager wants — start with hard work, selfless running, selfless things for the team. And we’ve all bought into it.”

Everton will move from the relegation zone if they beat Leeds United in their next Premier League fixture.
