Frank Lampard outlines Everton approach for Arsenal game that can impact Tottenham top-four race

Frank Lampard has stated Everton will be at "full pelt" trying to get the right result at Arsenal, even though he has admitted he can "relax more" after his team secured Premier League survival on Thursday evening. Looking like a game which would have plenty riding on it on the final day with Everton needing the points in their bid to escape the drop and Arsenal in a battle for the top-four, the Toffees came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 to ensure they won't be playing Championship football next term.

Arsenal can, however, still secure Champions League football but they require a huge favour off Norwich City when they take on Spurs if that is to happen. A point will be enough for Tottenham to wrap up fourth unless there is a huge swing in goal difference and the Gunners beat Everton 16-0 at the Emirates Stadium.

While it is very much in Tottenham's hands going into the final day of the 2021/22 campaign, supporters will still be keeping a close eye on what happens in north London when Everton visit the capital. Not having the luxury of relaxing since taking on the Everton job in January due to their precarious position in the standings, Lampard has admitted it will be nice for his players to not have so much pressure going into a game and that he will also make a few alterations for those who haven't featured so much.
