Everton relegation task clearer as midweek results give Frank Lampard key motivation

Results went largely in Everton's favour in the Premier League on Thursday night, making Frank Lampard's task clearer in the relegation battle.

The Toffees are sat in 17th place in the table, a point and a place above Burnley in the drop zone.

Neither Everton nor the Clarets were in action on Thursday, although a number of other sides down at the wrong end of the standings did take to the field.
