Frank Lampard says there is no escaping the importance of Wednesday's trip to relegation rivals Burnley, live on Sky Sports, as the pressure ramps up on Everton.
Nineteenth-placed Burnley can move to within a point of Everton with a win at Turf Moor, ahead of a visit to the Premier League's basement club Norwich on Sunday, also live on Sky Sports.
Lampard, who has managed just two wins in eight league matches as Everton boss, refused to play down the significance of Wednesday's match, as his side fight to avoid the club's first relegation since 1951.
Asked if he agreed with fans suggesting this is Everton's biggest game for 10 years, Lampard told Sky Sports News: "I think we've got 10 of those, so understandably they can say that. No problem.
"I don't think building the game up is a problem, it's more of a reality.
"Us as a staff and as players have to have a bit of that in our mindset. There's nothing wrong with that, we understand the situation we are in, will approach it in the right way and understand the importance of it."
Speaking at an earlier news conference, Lampard added: "It's very important [to be mentally ready] because it's a big deal. We are fighting at the bottom end of the table to try and stay in the league.
"That's been the case for a while, but with every game, it gets more intense. The squad will be very focused and very understanding of what we are going into."
