Everton fans set off fireworks in front of Chelsea hotel to try stop them sleeping ahead of clash

Everton fans are desperately trying to help their team avoid relegation after setting off fireworks outside the Chelsea hotel.

Thomas Tuchel’s side are in town to face the Toffees at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Sunday.

But any hope of an early night for the Blues players were disturbed as fans let off an array of fireworks outside the Hilton Hotel in a bid to stop the visitors from getting much sleep ahead of the Premier League clash.

In the video footage, loud whistling fireworks, explosions and crackles can be seen right outside the hotel.

It comes ahead of a vital clash for Frank Lampard’s side, who need all the help they can get with their chances of avoiding relegation from the Premier League now looking increasingly slim.

They have just six games left in which to protect a proud record of being in the top flight since 1954.

The Toffees are currently in the bottom three with two games in hand on Burnley and Leeds

Everton are currently in the bottom three with two games in hand over Burnley and Leeds – although they now sit five points adrift.

Burnley have turned their fortunes around under caretaker manager Mike Jackson after sacking Sean Dyche recently.

Things are beginning to look increasingly worrying for the Toffees, therefore the fans are trying to play their part in helping them avoid the drop. 

Supporters are also planning a march of support on Goodison Road to lift the players as they arrive to face Chelsea.
