Frank Lampard makes 'difficult' Everton admission as Leeds United move ahead in relegation fight

Frank Lampard is worried about Everton's mentality to be resilient in their battle to stay in the Premier League as Leeds United moved four points clear of them on Friday night. This was after the Toffees were dumped out of the FA Cup with a 4-0 defeat against Crystal Palace - their fifth away loss in a row.

It has been a dismal season for Everton, who currently sit 17th on just 25 points from their opening 27 league matches. They have won just twice in the top-flight since Lampard's arrival in January and the Toffees are in real danger of dropping into the Championship for the first time.

Meanwhile, Leeds extended the gap between them and the drop zone following a dramatic 3-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday. Although Watford and Burnley still sit below Everton in the table, the fact they have to play both could swing the pendulum once again.
