Fireworks are set off outside Chelsea’s hotel through the night just hours before crunch Everton clash
CHELSEA stars had to put up with a late-night firework show outside their hotel just hours before today's clash against Everton.
The Toffees go into the match five points from safety with six games remaining, after Burnley's late comeback sealed a 2-1 win at Watford yesterday.
And they will be hoping to catch Chelsea napping after a sleepless night.
Fireworks were set off outside the Hilton in Liverpool - where Thomas Tuchel's men are believed to be staying - and reportedly lasted more than an hour and a half until almost 3am.
Loud bangs could be heard from inside the hotel as sparks literally flew outside.
Frank Lampard is set to go up against his former side later on today.

The 43-year-old could desperately do with a repeat of his side's 1-0 victory over Manchester United last month.
Everton have picked up seven points from the last nine available at home.
Despite residing in the bottom three, Lampard is positive that his side can beat the drop.
He said: "I see a group here at Everton that are really good lads trying to stay in the league.

"We need to keep that spirit because spirit in football is a huge thing.
"At the minute the lads are very together and fighting together and I need to lead that."
Lampard appears to be taking inspiration from his uncle Harry redknapp.
He added: "The smartest managers make things sound simple.
"Whenever I speak to Harry, it’s 'What do you think about this situation because you were there with Portsmouth?'"
