Everton manager Frank Lampard knows the fans are upset ahead of their massive clash with Manchester United tomorrow.

Lampard has won four games and lost eight across all competitions since replacing the sacked Rafael Benitez at the end of January, with Manchester United up next at Goodison Park in Saturday's early kick-off (12:30 GMT).

"The fans have a passion, they live and breathe this club. I'm here for five minutes in football terms and I live and breathe the club and I want us to stay in the league," Lampard said.

"I have to handle that because I have to do my job and I can't tell the fans how to be, I can only ask them to turn up tomorrow and be absolutely behind us - as they have done since I've been here.

"Results are the turning point of things. If we win on Wednesday [it's a] seven-point buffer to Burnley, six points to Watford with a game in hand. If you don't it flips in the other direction.

"If we get caught up in that hysteria we are caught up in it. We have a job to do tomorrow."
