Crystal Palace are planning on staying at a secret location outside of Merseyside ahead of Thursday’s clash at Everton to avoid being woken up in the middle of the night by fireworks.
Chelsea and Brentford players have both seen preparations for their respective Premier League fixtures at Goodison Park this month disrupted in the early hours of the morning due to fireworks being set off outside the team hotel.
Everton are in the midst of a relegation fight and it is claimed that Toffees supporters are deliberately setting off the pyrotechnics to wake opposition players in hope of giving Frank Lampard’s men an advantage.
