Everton boss Frank Lampard believes Burnley’s recent results have pulled Leeds United back into the fight to beat the drop. The Toffees dropped into the bottom three yesterday following Burnley’s 1-0 win over Wolves, and their 2-0 loss in the Merseyside derby.
Under caretaker boss Mike Jackson, the Clarets have picked up seven points from their last three matches and are now just two points adrift of Leeds ahead of their game in hand at Crystal Palace this evening. Everton suffered an eighth consecutive away league defeat at Anfield on Sunday and their poor form on the road is what has dragged them into the battle.
Speaking in his post-match press conference after yesterday’s clash with Liverpool, Lampard insisted his side must cannot afford to get ‘caught up’ in what the sides around them are doing, while also claiming Leeds are also now right in the battle.
