and live on Freeview channel 276
Brazilian international winger Richarlison scored the only goal of the game as Lampard's side gave their survival hopes a huge boost with last Sunday's 1-0 win against Chelsea at Goodison Park.
The Brazilian threw away a flare that had landed on the pitch after his goal and Lampard says the incident is being looked at by the police but that he could not provide any more update.

Lampard, though, is optimistic that the winger will be available for Sunday's Premier League clash at Leicester which coincides with Leeds facing hots Arsenal at the same time.
Andre Gomes is also back available for the Toffees but Donny van de Beek remains sidelined with a groin injury whilst Ben Godfrey is also still out.
Andros Townsend (ACL) and Nathan Patterson (ankle) are out for the remainder of the season.
