Antonio Conte will hope Diego Costa justifies his faith in having him rather than Everton's Romelu Lukaku as his main striker and deliver another three points in Chelsea's chase for the title on Sunday.
Chelsea face their biggest challenge in their remaining five matches at Everton, who are on a run of eight successive home victories. However, Conte will hope they extend their lead over rivals Spurs to seven points before Tottenham kick-off in the north London derby with Arsenal later today.
Conte is adamant he wouldn't swap the temperamental Costa, who has 19 goals to his name this season, including a welcome return to form with a double against Southampton on Tuesday, with Lukaku, who tops the scoring charts with 24.
Arsenal, who are still in the race to try and secure a Champions League spot, five points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City and with a game in hand, at least have restored some battered morale with two wins this week including a win over Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final. Both City and United are also in action today and would hope to both pick up three points as they play two relegation candidates in Middlesbrough and Swansea respectively.
