Everton manager Frank Lampard insists he has no fears over his future despite the club being threatened with relegation from the top flight for the first time since 1951.

Defeat to fellow strugglers Burnley on Wednesday left the Toffees just a point above the drop zone, having taken only six points from the nine matches he has been in charge.

"I know the rules, I have no problem with that. In my relatively short management career I spent 18 months at Chelsea where I was always probably two games from the sack," said the former midfielder.

"I'm proud to be manager here and keep the history of this club going in a positive way.

"The fans live and breathe this club. I've only been here five minutes but I do too."

Everton's hierarchy do not believe sacking Lampard will improve their prospects of staying in the Premier League at this stage.
