Everton boss Frank Lampard is upset with their schedule as they prepare to face Burnley tomorrow.
The Toffees suffered a 2-1 defeat at West Ham in the Sunday 2pm kick-off last weekend and face Burnley on Wednesday night before welcoming Manchester United in the early Saturday game.
Everton find themselves just three points outside the relegation zone with 10 games remaining but Lampard was less than impressed by the Premier League's scheduling.
"We're playing this week with and I don't know how but we've managed to be asked to play three games from Sunday to Wednesday evening to Saturday morning," he said ahead of their trip to Turf Moor.
"Incredible schedule really when it could have been easily Saturday, Wednesday or Saturday or Sunday but not 12.30pm kick off but we've got the short straw this week.
"I've got to take that into consideration in terms of fitness and freshness of the players."
