Everton fans are desperately trying to help their team avoid relegation after lighting fireworks in front of the Chelsea Hotel.
Thomas Tuchel’s team is in town to face Goodison Park’s Toffees in the Premier League on Sunday.
But all hopes of an early night for the Blues were dashed as fans set off numerous fireworks in front of the Hilton Hotel in an attempt to prevent guests from sleeping long before the Premier League clash.

The footage showed loud whistling fireworks, explosions and popping right in front of the hotel, and reportedly lasted more than an hour and a half until almost 3 am.
This comes before an important clash for the team of Frank Lampard, who needs all the help he can get with his chances to avoid relegation from the Premier League, now they look weaker.
They have only six games left to keep their proud record of being in the league since 1954.
Frank Lampard’s side have only six games to avoid relegation for the first time since 1954.
The Toffees are currently in the last three with two games on hand against Burnley and Leeds
Everton are currently in the bottom three with two games in hand against Burnley and Leeds – although they are now five points behind.
Burnley turned their fortunes under the leadership of caretaker Mike Jackson after the recent dismissal of Sean Deitch.
Things are starting to look more and more worrying for Toffees, so fans are trying to play their part to help them avoid falling.
Supporters are also planning a march in support of Goodison Road to pick up players when they arrive to face Chelsea.
Everton can be encouraged by their home form as they have taken seven points out of nine in their last three home games under Lampard.
He could have achieved a similar result as when they shocked Manchester United with a 1-0 victory thanks to Anthony Gordon last month.
“I see a group here in Everton who are really good guys trying to stay in the league,” said the manager.
“We have to keep that spirit, because the spirit in football is a huge thing. At the moment, the boys are very much together and fighting together, and I have to lead that.
Boss Lampard is looking for inspiration from his first club West Ham and his uncle Harry Redknapp, while Everton are struggling to stay on their feet and strive to become a real force in the Premier League.
“We understand how important it is for us to stay in the league, but no one gets a free ticket,” Lampard said. ‘
There are things I see in the long run that I want to change to make the club better and I had a lot of support in that.
“West Ham have been fighting relegation, they now have a fantastic manager and one of the best young players in the world from their Declan Rice academy, but you have to work for all that.”
