Everton boss Lampard: “I don’t need re-assurances over my job”
Follow live updates as Manchester United host Everton in the FA Cup third round tonight. Frank Lampard is under pressure following a dismal run of form that has seen Everton drop into the Premier League relegation zone, but the Toffees boss will hope the FA Cup brings a change of fortune.
Everton face a tough task against a resurgent and in-form Manchester United team, however. Erik ten Hag’s side have won their last six matches in all competitions and have kept four clean sheets in a row, a run that continued with Tuesday’s 3-0 win over Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
United have not won the FA Cup since 2016 and Ten Hag will now be hopeful of lifting silverware this season given his side’s recent form. For Everton and Lampard, meanwhile, they will aim to pull off an upset that would lift the mood around Goodison Park following the disastrous defeat to Brighton this week.

FULL TIME! Manchester United 3-1 Everton
Manchester United are through the fourth round of the FA Cup and now have seven wins in a row under Erik ten Hag.
That was an pretty good FA Cup tie. Everton made a game of it despite falling behind early, and put United under some pressure near the end.
Conor Coady’s second-half own goal, forced by a Marcus Rashford cross, was the decisive moment as United retook the lead.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin had an equaliser disallowed due to offside before Rashford wrapped up the win from the penalty spot late on.
On the whole, Everton can hold their heads high and Lampard’s players are still working for their manager on this evidence.

PENALTY! Manchester United 2-1 Everton
It’s a penalty for United as Godfrey clips Garnacho in the box! There was lots of space for United to attack and Garnacho was sent through on goal. He cut across Godfrey and went down under the challenge. It’s a bit soft but Rashford will have the chance to wrap this up.
