Portugal coach Roberto Martinez is confident Everton will beat the drop.
The former Toffees manager admits they need to stay up with a new stadium pending.
Speaking on the BBC World Service's Sportsworld programme, Martinez said: "They won't go down. Obviously, Everton are a wonderful football club.
"Now is a key moment in their history when you can see the new stadium coming along. There is a lot to look forward to, and there are a lot of things to come together as a football club, and they can use it as a springboard.
"This is a moment to finish the season off in the best possible way, and I am convinced Everton will stay up given the fight and performance against Leicester City. It's clear to me they are going to stay up."
