Diego Costa set to make Premier League return from suspension as Chelsea face Burnley

Diego Costa was banned for three matches by the FA after the incident in Liverpool vs Chelsea match was seen offensive. Diego Costa stamped on Emre Can and Martin Skrtel in the match and was given suspension. Chelsea played three matches in his absence and won two and drew on one occasion. Chelsea drew with Manchester City as Loic Remy opened the scoring for the table toppers. Chelsea then defeated Aston Villa by 2-1 with goals from Eden Hazard and Branislav Ivanovic. Willian was on target when Chelsea defeated Everton by 1-0.

Costa made his comeback into the Chelsea lineup when the club visited Paris to play PSG in Champions League Round of 16 first leg tie. Costa looked on good touch but Ivanovic got the goal after a scrambled corner was built up for a goal by defenders. Costa is expected to lead the line once again as Mourinho looks to increase the lead at the top.
