| Diego Costa Will Form Again |
The Chelsea striker has been off colour this season, scoring just one Premier League goal in six appearances and was at the centre of the controversy during the win over Arsenal last month.
He was hit with a three-game ban for his altercation with Laurent Koscielny and was dropped by Vicente Del Bosque for Spain's Euro 2016 qualifiers with Luxembourg and Ukraine.
Last week he admitted he was out of shape at the start of the season, but the 27-year-old, who hasn't featured since Porto in the Champions League on September 29, believes he is ready to replicate last season's form.
“It’s been really important for me," he told Chelsea TV. "I have been able to train with my own specific schedule to help me get better and better.
“The sessions have been good and I have been able to benefit from being here. I’ve been working on what I needed to work on and I am happy about that."
Chelsea face Aston Villa on Saturday with both managers under pressure.
Following the Blues last defeat to Southampton Jose Mourinho staged an incredible post match speech in which he declared he was still the best manager the club had ever had and demanded the board backed him.
He was given a vote of confidence although pressure remains with reports the club have a contingency plan in place.
Diego Simeone and Carlo Ancelotti have been linked with the position with the later admitting he wanted to return to England.
Tim Sherwood, meanwhile, is also fighting for his job with Villa third bottom after eight games.
The club's chairman Randy Lerner is thought to be considering Brendan Rodgers and David Moyes should Sherwood not turn things around.
