Chelsea will be without the talismanic Diego Costa for Saturday's title showdown with Manchester City after he was slapped with a three-match ban for violent conduct.
The Spain striker was found guilty of stamping on Liverpool's Emre Can during the Capital One Cup semi-final win at Stamford Bridge earlier in the week.
Costa was charged by the FA on Wednesday evening and unsuccessfully contested that decision, with Chelsea claiming that he wasn’t looking where he planted his feet and caught Can completely by accident.
