Burnley and Everton played against each other this week at Turf Moor in a crucial bottom-of-the-table clash. Both teams needed the win to improve their chances of playing in the Premier League next season.

Everton had a 2-1 lead at the beginning of the second half. But Burnley came from behind to hand another defeat to Frank Lampard?s men on the road.

Not only the result will disappoint the fans, but they will also not like what Burnley’s manager Sean Dyche had to say after the game.

Everton have failed to win games consistently under new manager Frank Lampard.

Though there had been promising signs in Everton?s dominant win against Leeds United, Frank Lampard?s men could bag only 3 points from their last five Premier League matches.

Going into the business end of the season, there will be a lot of pressure on the former Chelsea boss.

Richarlison and others must perform well consistently from now on and get the results in their favor to avoid relegation this season.

Which team has a higher chance of getting relegated from the Premier League this season between Burnley and Everton?

Currently, Everton are currently sitting in the 17 position. Whereas, Burnley are sitting on 18 following their win this week.

Frank Lampard?s men are just one point ahead of Burnley, who currently holds the final relegation spot.

But Sean Dyche and his players can certainly overtake Everton, going into the final game week of this season.

One of the major reasons for this is Everton?s incredibly difficult fixture list.

With 9 games remaining, Everton are yet to play four of the traditional big six of the Premier League- Arsenal, Chelsea Manchester United, and Liverpool.

As compared to Everton, Sean Dyche?s Burnley side has a relatively easier round of fixtures. Among the traditional big six of the Premier League, they only have Antonio Conte?s Tottenham Hotspur to play against.

Norwich City, West Ham, Wolves, Southampton, Aston Villa (both Home and Away), Watford, and Newcastle United are the other remaining fixtures for The Clarets.
