Everton have been revived so far this season, so is it possible that Frank Lampard will defy the dire predictions that were made for his team? When Everton and Manchester United last played each other at Goodison Park in April, the home side were in deep trouble at the bottom of the Premier League. With just 25 points from 29 games, they were only a point above the relegation places. Concerns were building about their financial viability following the departure of their main sponsor Alisher Usmanov following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Three days earlier, they lost what was considered a potentially season-defining match at Burnley. Seven months on, the picture at Goodison Park looks considerably rosier. Everton survived relegation, though it took until the penultimate game of the season for them to do so. A 1-0 win that day against a predictably disjointed, late-stage Ralf Rangnick Manchester United team proved to be the catalyst for the revival.
