Everton’s position in the Premier League table - based on Frank Lampard’s time only

Everton’s woes continued with a 1-0 loss to Wolves on Sunday and they only hover above the relegation zone because of goal difference.

Fear of Premier League relegation is rife among Evertonians.

The Toffees' position in the top-flight table has become increasingly perilous after a 1-0 loss to Wolves at Goodison Park on Sunday.

Conor Coady's second-half header condemned the home side to a fourth successive defeat.

Everton find themselves outside the bottom three only on goal difference and Frank Lampard has a fight on his hands to ensure the drop is avoided.

Worryingly, the Blues have won just two of their previous 20 league games.

Since taking over the hot seat from Rafa Benitez, Lampard's found things tough so far.

Just one victory in the top flight - a 3-0 win against Leeds United - has been yielded.

There have been positive signs under the former Chelsea boss, though, and he still has ample time to turn things around with 12 games remaining.

Everton do have three games in hand on 16th-placed Leeds and 18th-placed Watford which takes some pressure off the current predicament.

But here's how the table stacks up since Lampard's arrival on Merseyside.
