Everton have taken the lead over Chelsea at Goodison Park through Richarlison, less than 60 seconds into the second-half.
Thomas Tuchel’s men have next to nothing to play for in the Premier League, while Everton are fighting for their lives at the bottom end of the table.
Even while, on paper, you’d expect the world champions to make light work of this fixture, you figured there could be an upset on the cards at Goodison.
After a fiery first-half, but one without goals, both managers will have made adjustments at half-time in hope of having a positive outcome.

Tuchel will have been left absolutely furious after every word he said to captain Cesar Azpilicueta was ignored.
Azpilicueta took far too long on the ball and was pressed, just as he was being pressed all through the first-half, and subsequently surrendered position.
As the ball fell to Richarlison, there was only going to be one outcome. He slotted the ball past Edouard Mendy and into the back of the net in clinical fashion.
What a huge goal this could be for Everton and Frank Lampard!
