This is the Chelsea XI that will win the Premier League title

Diego Costa

The speculation surrounding Diego Costa’s future at Chelsea last month appears to be dead in the water, after the Spanish international has come back into the team doing what he does best – scoring goals.

The 28-year-old was omitted from the side to face Leicester on January 14, for one reason or another, but came back in against Hull the week after, and netted the opener in a committed and bright display from the striker.

Although he hasn’t been able to add to his 15 Premier League goals since then, Costa has proven dedicated to the cause, with his all round play impressive, as well as his desire to work for the team.

With question marks over Michy Batshuayi’s capabilities in the top-flight, keeping Costa fit between now and May is absolutely crucial for Chelsea in their bid to win the league.
