Would think so. Weird week all this Costa drama, all sorts of rumours flying around. What we do know is ,he DID have a bad back last game, now he's OK. Think he will start, and team be pretty well unchanged. Don't see Fabregas starting as Matic has been seriously good, but , you never can tell. One of Pedro, Willian or Hazard will not start, though each of them deserve to. Time for Ake to get a run out and Zouma to get some more game time as well. Options as to who moves, but Luiz could do with a break, as could Dave. Think Alonso will want to go 90 mins after last week, so lots of opportunities for Conte give subs a chance. Not looking at this as a "done deal", but if we go well first half, hope changes happen second.
He's spent his time on the naughty step, and they've all kissed and made up.I think Costa owes us, the fans , a special days work for his disloyal behaviour, then we can forgive him as well. Don't see any reason for the main choices not to play, but if we secure an early sizeable lead bring the subs on earlier, than he usually does!
