It was fair to say Chelsea supporters were not the most confident as they saw their team walk out of the Goodison Park tunnel to a deafening reception. The Blues had lost in all of their last three trips to Everton and the general feeling on social media was that of pessimism.
This was also down to Chelsea being unable to beat an out-of-sorts Manchester United team during the week, but their recent experiences of Goodison have not been the best. This was a special day for Everton as well, to make things even more difficult for the visitors.
The Toffees had just seen their relegation rivals Burnley defeat Watford less than 24 hours before, making their clash against Chelsea even more crucial. The atmosphere around Goodison was truly ear-piercing and it looked as if that got to some of the Blues' players on the day.
