May 1, 2022 was a dark day for Chelsea Football Club.
Despite being the overwhelming favourites to sink Frank Lampard's men and push their opponents closer to relegation, the Toffees, who were boosted by the raucous and intimidating pre-match atmosphere their fans created for this big occasion, overcame the odds and picked up three points on this occasion.
Thankfully, from the Blues' point of view, match winner Richarlison is not available on this occasion as the Brazilian is now wearing the colours of white for Tottenham. Lampard's side have yet to directly replace the 25-year-old but coupled with his exit, Dominic Calvert-Lewin's fresh injury concern has Thomas Tuchel and his team as overwhelming favourites for this Premier League 2022/23 opener.
