Costa set to be fit for Arsenal clash

Chelsea’s bid to take a giant step towards the Barclays Premier League title has received a major boost as manager Jose Mourinho could have all his senior strikers fit and available for the trip to Arsenal at the weekend.

Top-scorer Diego Costa has been sidelined since the 2-1 victory against Stoke City at Stamford Bridge earlier in the month after suffering a recurrence of a hamstring problem that has disrupted his debut year in England.

Meanwhile Loic Remy has missed the last two games after pulling out of the squad for the win over Queens Park Rangers and Didier Drogba was considered a doubt for the game at the Emirates after being forced to withdraw from a charity match this week due to a reoccurring ankle problem.

It had been suggested that all three would be unavailable game against their closest challengers for the league title but the Mirror report that Chelsea will have all three front-men fit for the heavyweight clash.

The Blues need just two more wins to be crowned champions for the first time since 2010 and are unbeaten against the Gunners under Mourinho.
