Lampard, 43, replaced Rafa Benitez at Goodison Park in January.
He enjoyed a brief bounce with two victories in his opening three games in charge.
But things have steadily declined since.
Everton have picked up ONE Premier League win in their last seven outings and sit in 17th position — one point above the relegation zone.
The Merseyside outfit plunged further into danger on Wednesday when squandering a 2-1 lead against Burnley at Turf Moor.
The defeat sparked rumours that owner Farhad Moshiri would travel to Liverpool to make a change ahead of Everton’s final nine fixtures.
But Lampard remains in charge for the time being with difficult matches against Manchester United, Leicester, Liverpool and Chelsea on the horizon.
Next Premier League manager to leave
Betfair odds
- No Manager To Leave – 6/4
- Frank Lampard – 6/4
- Roy Hodgson – 13/2
- Thomas Tuchel – 9/1
- Brendan Rodgers – 20/1
- Ralf Rangnick – 20/1
- Dean Smith – 22/1
- Graham Potter – 25/1
- Antonio Conte – 33/1
- Sean Dyche – 33/1
Everton are even-money to be relegated with only Norwich (1/80), Watford (1/5) and Burnley (10/11) behind them in the betting markets.
Sky Sports claim Moshiri and Co. do not believe sacking Lampard will improve their prospects of staying in the division.
But former Everton defender Alan Stubbs doesn’t know where the next win is coming from.
He said: “It’s quite depressing as an Everton fan when you look at the fixtures – it’s difficult to say where the points are going to come from.
“I’m not very hopeful. Brentford at home and Watford away is not going to be easy so you start scratching your head. For Everton to be in this position at this stage of the season is incredible to digest.”
