Frank Lampard insists he isn't seeking 'reassurances' from the Everton hierarchy despite emerging as the bookies' favourite in the Premier League sack race.
Lampard's position at Goodison Park is hanging by a thread after Tuesday's 4-1 hammering against Brighton, which has left his side languishing in the relegation zone.
The Toffees have now suffered three straight defeats on their own turf and are also without a win in six matches, piling the pressure on their manager at the halfway stage of the season.
Lampard, who has only guided Everton to three wins out of 18 in the league this season, has now overtaken West Ham boss David Moyes in the Premier League sack race, with the former Chelsea midfielder as short as 1/4 to lose his job, via oddschecker.
