You can understand why Chelsea’s rivals were licking their lips when it became clear that not only would star forward Diego Costa miss three matches with his ban, but that Cesc Fabregas would be out as well.
Yes, it has caused the Blues some problems and they have not been as free flowing as at other times this season but Loic Remy has led the line well enough – and Willian has shone in the last couple of games.
The Blues have far more in their locker than one man – Eden Hazard might have something to say about the Blues being labelled as reliant on Costa for one!
