Frank Lampard backs Dominic Calvert-Lewin to challenge for a place in England's World Cup if he stays 'fit and firing' after striker scored first goal since returning from injury to help Everton claim win over Crystal Palace

Everton manager Frank Lampard believes striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin will give himself a chance of making England's World Cup squad if he can stay fit and in form.

In the 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace the 25-year-old scored for the first time since the goal which kept the Toffees in the Premier League last May, coincidentally also against Palace and in front of the Gwladys Street end.

It was only his fourth appearance of the season and the first time he has made back-to-back starts since a knee injury on the eve of the campaign.
