Frank Lampard has told his Everton players to stay disciplined on a potentially ‘historic’ night at Goodison Park when a win would secure Premier League safety with a game to go.
Lampard has seen his struggling side collect five red cards since the middle of March including Jarrad Branthwaite and Salomon Rondon in Sunday’s home defeat by Brentford.
It leaves the Merseyside giants, who have received a league-high six red cards this season, with little margin for error — failure to beat Crystal Palace on Thursday night would take the relegation battle to the final day when they visit Arsenal.
