Wayne Rooney is the favourite with the bookies to succeed Frank Lampard at Everton.
Following a 4-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion at Goodison Park on Tuesday night, speculation was rife about Lampard’s position at the club. However, it now appears that the former Chelsea boss will take charge of Everton’s FA Cup tie with Manchester United on Friday night.
Lampard, who was appointed a year ago, has overseen just one win in his past 10 Premier League matches. The Blues currently find themselves inside the relegation zone on goal difference.
