If Costa is suspended i would much rather Remy starts ahead of Drogba, he has the pace to trouble Kompany and co.

Nah, Atletico at home last year, Europa league final,...

Better hope Ivory Coast beat Cameroon tonight so that they'll continue to be in the African Cup of Nations. Otherwise, there's a chance that Toure and Bony could feature in this game.

Cristiano ronaldo getting 2 games for three punches and one kick… lets see FA give Costa a 5 games ban for two stamps that no one can prove he did with intention !

Atletico game, may be. I never thought we'd win the UCL last season, with Bayern and Real we had little chance. But, come this weekend, if we win this one it'd be one massive massive leap toward the title .. the Europa League final? absolutely not, I wasn't half as nervous as I'll be on Saturday. Anyway that's just my opinion

According to Guardian they are unlikely to face us.

Biggest match so far, we just can't lose this one, even draw would be OK but if we win tittle is in our pocket.

Game of the season. Could decide the title. Rambo is a must.

Costa is missing this now. No way we overturn this in an appeal. When's the last time the FA ever overturned a ban during an appeal? Don't even bother.

I'd get Drogba to replace instead of Remy, simply because we need that outlet as I suspect we'll be playing on the counter. If Cesc is injured then Ramires should start, and if he's available then drop Oscar and let Cesc play as a 10. Ramires should start regardless.

Courtois

Ivan - Zouma - Terry - Azpi

Ramires - Matic

Willian - Cesc/Oscar - Hazard

Drogba

The timing of this does look very suspicious though. I can't recal the last time FA charged a player within 24 hours of an incident. They usually wait for about a week or so. They are very determined to see Costa miss the City game.

[iseah100 5,612]

That's fucking bullshit. Fuck the FA. Hey, @lionsden, is there a campaign against us now? Fuck the FA, fuck City, fuck Liverpool.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Drogba to score the winner, it is written in the stars

[The Chels 2,502]

At least there won't be so much expectation on us with Costa out. Seemed like everyone was expecting us to easily extend the lead to 8 points.

[Tautvix 1,321]

Costa is surely out but what if Cesc is out too...

Daily Mail. "Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been Charged with violent conduct by the FA following clash with Emre Can".

I apologize to all forum members to repeat my message in this thread. I've also put in the thread of Diego Costa, but I think it is important that all forum members can read this. Sorry if I annoying someone. FA is a shame.

Regards to all.
