Liverpool fans stick the boot in as Chelsea suffer first-half nightmare against Stoke
LIVERPOOL fans bathed in the delight of Chelsea's latest setback as Jose Mourinho's side suffered a nightmare first half against Stoke in the Capital One Cup.
Diego Costa limped off injured after clashing with Jack Butland.
The striker returned to the field temporarily before being replaced by Loic Remy and is now a major doubt for the clash with Liverpool on Saturday.
Reds fans appeared to be ecstatic by the news and drew comparisons with their own crocked frontman, Daniel Sturridge.
Diego Costa limped off injured against Stoke
A Chelsea loss at Anfield could put paid to Mourinho's reign at Stamford Bridge as Express Sport understands owner Roman Abramovich is preparing to wield the axe.
Costa's injury will have done his cause no favours, but the Anfield faithful could hardly be happier.
Here's how they reacted to Costa's injury.

@DExpress_Sport don't be so dramatic, if not with injury, he'd have been sent off at some point, or arrested for eating a ballboys arm
