Conte stands by decision not take off Costa

Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard said he and Diego Costa had dedicated their goals in the 3-0 victory over Leicester City to Willian after the death of the Brazil international's mother.

Costa has picked up four yellow cards in Chelsea's first six league games of the 2016-17 season, and while the Spain global came through unscathed in the victory over Hull City, it leaves him walking a tight rope against the champions on Saturday afternoon (15 October).

The Premier League champions, meanwhile, had a half to forget, as they struggled to mount any serious attempts at Thibaut Courtois' goal. For Belgium, we have full-backs who run hard and create a lot of space, which is good and I like to play there. It is good for us. We are trying to do something important for the present and for the future.

Chelsea started off well with a goal by striker Diego Costa in the seventh minute of the game.

"Yes, he's available. He came back for a training session in the middle of the week".

Cubs to start Lester in NLCS Game 1
Indeed, when the Cubs visited Dodger Stadium in late August, Kershaw was still on the disabled list with a back issue. The game was tied 2-2 going into the eleventh inning when Edwin Encarnacion hit a game walk-off three-run home run.

Despite their positive passing moves from open play, the second almost arrived from a dead-ball situation as David Luiz's free kick swerved through the air but back off the upright.

Chelsea were ahead inside seven minutes and it was Costa who made the breakthrough.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte says there is no truth in reports he is set to be sacked by the Premier League outfit.

The Foxes lost defensive midfielder N'Golo Kante to Chelsea in the close season and Conte said the Frenchman had quickly become one of his most important players.

Reigning champions Leicester City were out played away at Stamford bridge today as opponents Chelsea were far too energetic for them. Also, the players, you want to win, you want to do good work. Whether we win or we lose, they push us all the time.
