Everton next six fixtures compared to relegation rivals after Burnley defeat

Everton were handed a major boost in their bid for survival on Sunday afternoon following Burnley's defeat at the hands of Norwich City. This result means the Clarets now trails the Blues by a total of four points after 30 matches played for both sides.

Frank Lampard's side were able to pick up a much-needed three points when hosting Manchester United on Saturday afternoon after a damaging loss at Turf Moor earlier in the week and will now look to start moving away from the bottom three in the weeks ahead.

Tough tests ahead against the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool are in store for the Blues, but how do the Toffees' remaining games compare to their relegation rivals?

16. Leeds - 33 points (32 matches played)

Leeds have turned their season around with three wins in their last four games, two of which have arrived away from home.

New head coach Jesse Marsch will have been pleased with the progress made during his brief tenure, though will recognise the difficulty of the Whites' upcoming opponents. Up first is a testing trip to the home of Crystal Palace, before facing three of the top six in quick succession.

April 25 - Crystal Palace (A)

April 30 - Man City (H)

May 8 - Arsenal (A)

May 11 - Chelsea (H)

May 15 - Brighton (H)

May 22 - Brentford (A)

17. Everton - 28 points (30 matches played)

Boosted by Saturday's triumph, Everton will look to build on this win in their remaining fixtures for April. A trip across Stanley Park to Anfield represents a tough challenge for the Toffees, though encouragement can be taken from last season's result at the home of the Reds.

May begins in difficult fashion at home to Chelsea, though Lampard will have hopes of securing positive results against Watford and Brentford.

April 20 - Leicester (H)

April 24 - Liverpool (A)

May 1 - Chelsea (H)

May 7 - Leicester (A)

May 11 - Watford (A)

May 15 - Brentford (H)

18. Burnley - 24 points (30 matches played)

After the high of Wednesday's win over Everton came the low of losing to Norwich this afternoon.

Burnley's next fixture seems them visit the London Stadium before hosting Southampton and Wolves in the space of three days. A huge clash with Watford awaits at the end of this month, followed by meetings with Villa and Spurs in May.

April 17 - West Ham (A)

April 21 - Southampton (H)

April 24 - Wolves (H)

April 30 - Watford (A)

May 7 - Aston Villa (H)

May 15 - Tottenham (A)

19. Watford - 22 points (31 matches played)

A big few weeks ahead awaits Watford, who will face two of their closest relegation rivals in Burnley and Everton. Roy Hodgson's side were beaten 3-0 by Leeds at the weekend and things don't get any easier for the Hornets with games against Manchester City and Leicester City still to play.

April 16 - Brentford (H)

April 23 - Man City (A)

April 30 - Burnley (H)

May 7 - Crystal Palace (A)

May 11 - Everton (H)

May 15 - Leicester (H)

20. Norwich - 21 points ( 31 matches played)

Still bottom of the pile, the Canaries have given themselves a glimmer of hope after getting the better of Burnley. Dean Smith's side have four away matches to negotiate out of their next six games, with their only matches on home soil arriving against Newcastle and Villa.

April 16 - Man United (A)

April 23 - Newcastle (H)

April 30 - Aston Villa (A)

May 7 - West Ham (H)

May 11 - Leicester (A)

May 15 - Wolves (A)
