STUNNER! Diego Costa to START for Chelsea at Man Utd

Diego Costa is set to START for Chelsea at Manchester United today. The Mail on Sunday says Diego Costa is expected to start for Chelsea at United despite his hamstring problems and an overnight stay in hospital last week with a virus.

Manager Jose Mourinho has been sweating on the Spain striker's fitness but Costa is understood to have come through training on Saturday and is ready to be selected.

Mourinho had said Costa would have to train with the team and show no ill effects from his recent health scares if he was to start - and the Premier League's leading goalscorer seems to have done enough to convince Mourinho he can play.
