Fresh blow for Frank Lampard and Everton as Ben Godfrey is injured in warm-up ahead of Liverpool clash and is replaced by Michael Keane... as the Toffees go into the clash in the relegation zone

Everton have been dealt a fresh blow to their survival hopes after Ben Godfrey was injured in the warm-up ahead of their crucial derby clash with Liverpool at Anfield.

Following Burnley's 1-0 win at home to Wolves earlier on Sunday, Everton dropped into the relegation zone for the first time since December 2019.

Frank Lampard's side have seen a Burnley resurgence under the interim tutelage of Mike Jackson following Sean Dyche's dismissal and have now seen the Clarets go above them in the league, albeit having played two games more.
