Everton are in real danger of being relegated from the top flight on English football for the first time since 1951.
Wednesday night saw the Toffees suffer a sobering defeat to drop rivals Burnley, despite having led at half-time. Manager Frank Lampard insisted afterwards that his side can survive although their wretched form belies that confidence. He said: "I think all the teams around us in the table have similar issues, whether it's home or away.
"Everything's challenging, no matter this result. The challenge is to stay in the league, we've got nine games to do it, 27 points. We lost points that we should have gained because it wasn't a game to lose for us."
