Frank Lampard admits pressure is 'huge' but would rather be in Everton's position than Leeds United

Frank Lampard is happy Everton's Premier League future remains in their own hands after they moved another point clear of the bottom three with a lacklustre goalless draw at already-relegated Watford. The Toffees went into the match having lifted themselves out of the relegation zone and up to 16th - one point ahead of Burnley and Leeds - following a run of 10 points from five matches.

But Everton struggled despite coming up against a depleted Watford side who made seven changes to the starting line-up from their 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on Saturday. However, Leeds United's 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea means Everton are now two points ahead of Jesse Marsch's side with a game in hand3

Lampard said he was still "relatively happy" with the result, and said: "I wouldn't say I'm frustrated...I think if you can't win, you don't lose, and we were more than secure in the game. We created a lot but probably for us, we didn't have much in the final third and the final ball as we normally do.
