Frank Lampard insists Sean Dyche's dismissal at Burnley doesn't change anything for Everton.
Burnley made the shock decision to sack Dyche last week, with the Lancashire club sitting three points behind 17th-placed Everton.
When asked about Dyche's sacking prior to Wednesday's clash with Leicester, Lampard said: "Firstly, Sean Dyche has been an incredible manager of the club. I think that's been quite a universal reaction to it.
"But the club have decided to make a change, and Sean Dyche I'm sure deserves maybe a bit of a rest and then will get a fantastic job because of the level of manager he has shown himself to be.
"I wish Sean all the best going forward on that. In terms of what happens to Burnley, what it means in this period, nobody knows.
"You can probably go through history and find good reactions from changes, not so good reactions from changes.
"It doesn't affect Everton. I saw a quote this week saying we were let off the hook that it's happened. I don't see how.
"This doesn't change anything – Burnley are a good team and used to fighting to stay in the Premier League, and that fact will remain the same."
