Everton face relegation rivals Burnley in a huge six-pointer tonight and Lampard needs a result

Ahead of Everton's massive relegation six-pointer at Burnley tonight, under-pressure manager Frank Lampard sought to lessen the enormity of the occasion.

'I don't feel tense, I feel excited with the level of the game and the competitive nature of this game,' said Lampard, assuredly.

Everton have lost every Premier League game on the road since his appointment in January. Another defeat this evening and Burnley will be a point behind with nine games left. Not tense? Think again, Frank.

The Clarets can move just a point behind Everton with a victory at Turf Moor on Wednesday

With seven of their subsequent nine games against top-half teams, including Liverpool and Chelsea, it's close to a must-win for Everton.
