In-form Costa Vital for Chelsea

The Spain international has experienced a revival in form since Hiddink succeeded Jose Mourinho. He'd found the net against Everton before the injury, a goal that continued his resurgence, as Squawka detailed:

Nevertheless, Chelsea will be glad to see their hitman back in action. Nobody else in their squad offers the same level of aggression in attacking areas.
