Chelsea Parking The Bus?

Jose Mourinho loves his tactics to be based on firm defence, so why not kill two birds with one stone? 

Get your two banks of four as close to each other as possible, and solve that tricky issue of who should play in goal by throwing both Thibaut Courtois and Petr Cech in the net.

Chelsea Striker, Diego Costa has warned Manchester City that he will punish them with goals if they plan on provoking him today.

Costa has netted seven times in four Premier League outings as the Blues sit top of the table ahead of this afternoon's clash the Etihad.

The 25-year-old has drawn some criticism over his behaviour after appearing to taunt Seamus Coleman for scoring an own goal in last month's 6-3 win over Everton.

Jose Mourinho claims Diego Costa and Drogba has surprised Chelsea players with their ability.

Mourinho told Sky Sports News: 'He’s a great addition for us. He is a fantastic player. Technically he is very, very good.

'That’s why lots of the players are so happy and so surprised, because his quality is even higher than what they expect.

'He's so strong physically and gives so much effort during matches. He’s a great addition for us. He's a fantastic player.
