Frank Lampard won the Premier League three times as a player but is adamant steering Everton away from relegation would be an even greater success.
Everton have turned their campaign around with back-to-back wins against Chelsea and Leicester, and a third consecutive victory against Watford tonight would go a long way to banishing the spectre of the drop.
It has not been an easy start to life as manager at Goodison Park for Lampard and there was a point last month when it seemed Everton were destined to go down. He, too, found his suitability for the position being scrutinised, especially after defeat by relegation rivals Burnley.
