Frank Lampard has been sacked by Everton following the Toffees’ 2-0 defeat to West Ham in the Premier League that extended their dreadful run of form.
The defeat to West Ham United leaves Everton 19th in the Premier League points table with just 15 points from 20 matches. They are tied on points with Southampton, who languish at 20th, but the Merseyside outfit have a better goal difference.
Everton have won just one of their last 12 games in the Premier League. Their only win in that period came against Crystal Palace in October last year as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over the London outfit. They suffered defeats in nine of those 12 games while they shared points in two matches.
Everton have also been already knocked out of the FA Cup and EFL Cup. Bournemouth romped their way into a 4-1 win over Everton in the EFL Cup third round to knock the Toffees out of the competition. Manchester United then dumped Everton out of the FA Cup with a 3-1 win in the third round.
