MICAH RICHARDS: Everton would be the biggest club EVER to drop out of the Premier League... this is unfamiliar territory for their squad and I'm not optimistic about their chances of staying up

There comes a point during a relegation battle when you are convinced everything will be fine, a moment you believe will lead fortunes to change.

Mine came against Watford in November 2015. Aston Villa had suffered a dreadful start to that season but, as a squad, we all felt one win would stop the rot.

We were 1-0 down and I equalised just before half-time. All my emotions came tumbling out as I celebrated. I was captain and wanted to lead by example.

I was convinced us drawing level would be the catalyst we needed to get away from the bottom.
