Chelsea striker Diego Costa begins a three-match suspension after being found guilty of violent conduct.

The Spain international was banned after clashing with Laurent Koscielny during the Blues' 2-0 Premier League win over Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Captain John Terry and striker Radamel Falcao will start the game but goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois (knee) and midfielder Willian are sidelined.

Isaiah Osbourne is a doubt for League One Walsall because of a knee injury.
MATCH FACTS

Here is what Mou had to say
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "Normally the best team wins and we were best. "We were dominant, in control and, let's not be hypocrites, to play with one more is easier but for me we were very comfortable in the first half. "I played first the first derby in September 2000 and I remember my words: 'To win a derby needs emotional control'. "I have played derbies in Spain, Italy, England and I always repeat the same words: 'To win derbies takes emotional control'."

Dude, go up and read again. I'm talking about Costa-Kos incident that spiralled into Gab-Costa matter. If the dumb ref had sent off the must-have-anger-management-classes brat, Costa, Paulista won't be sent off.

sinizia you don see replay, paulista kicked back.

that goal was given to hazard lol. Hear lamentations from rival fans. Mukina2 how market.

Stop grasping at straws abeg. You believe Kos did something but ALL the cameras didn't see it? We'd go with your beliefs over facts? So against Man City and other teams, what did they do to Costa before he started forming Rambo as always? Abeg, forget matter. Costa is dumb and should have been banned if a good ref was on the pitch.

my guy forget it has happened, it not anyone fault ur party time was aborted. Bro pls stop ranting.

What is interesting about it? I watched Man utd vs Liverpool because of Schweinsteiger and I fell asleep. Honestly. And that is supposed to be one of the top table clashes

DId you watch the game and what was your opinion? Was it exciting to you?

I fear both You and coded01 are right, but have noticed it not limited to Just epl, Ucl matchday matches that i watched were quite boring, take that barca-roma match or Arsenal-dinamo, madrid-shaktar.
They were so rigid, it was all passes,crosses head or tap in score No dribbles,no entertainment.

Bonjelomo:
:DThank God I made front page

Back to d matter:

I knew right from the time OAU started the backdoor admission scam called pre-degree, that corruption had craftily crept in2 d system. PD became a means by which corrupt children wu couldn't take the pains to pass UTME gain unchecked admission into the once-hallowed institution.

Corrupt children will definitely end up as corrupt union leaders. That is the consequence of opening a back door to those who can pay.

The times have really changed, and the standard we set are fast becoming history....

However, I rep gr8 Ife, Oba Awon Universities, now and always.

that not true bro pd itself is harder than pume, am an expredite so i know what am talking about, of last yr set only 800 out of 2500+ stundents gained admission.

Pd no be beans o though the fees are quite high

Is this the begining of a confession and plead for mercy

Adikam:
who will see doctor between us now?its happening you know?

guy abeg for ur mind now you fit fortell the future. This world is full of gamblers forgive me if i dont blive you tho ur predictions might be right for now.

it like nobody knows how to open play through opponent defence,
Ivanoic has been shit no doubt, but still he isnt the only packing shit among this team.
Our creative players-fab,willian,hazard seems to have lost form, Look at all our matches, nobody seems to have that spark to run through defences and score or assist goals.
Should we keep up this type of play i wont be surprised to find us battling relegation talkless of challenging for a spot nxt season or even challenging for the league title.

Martial justifying his price-tag?

Strictly for Chelsea fans...

Match Facts On home soil, Everton have lost only two of their last seven Barclays Premier League encounters with the Blues (W4 D1), albeit with those defeats coming in the last three meetings at Goodison Park. Chelsea have picked up four points from their opening four top-flight matches this season, their worst start to a campaign since 1995/96 (3 pts). Last season's meeting between these two sides at Goodison Park ended in a 6-3 win for the visitors - only six matches in BPL history have produced more goals. The Londoners have conceded 2+ goals in four consecutive matches (all venues) for the first time since December 2006.

Man the way ninjas keep cremating their fellow ninjas is getting out of hands.

Chelsea are tipped to make a number of changes to their side, with Fabregas and Ivanovic expected to be dropped to the bench.

Diego Costa has also been struggling for form, but he should keep his place up front with Radamel Falcao ruled out.

The Blues are still without goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, but Oscar is back in contention after recovering from a knee injury.

Meanwhile, the visitors are unable to call on the services of Eliazer Dasa, who was sent off for previous club Beitar Jerusalem in the Europa League earlier this summer.

Eden Ben Basat should lead the attack for Maccabi, with captain Zahavi expected to provide their main goal threat after scoring seven goals in his past 10 outings.

Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Begovic, Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Rahman, Matic, Ramires, Hazard, Oscar, Pedro, Costa

Maccabi Tel Aviv possible starting lineup:
Rajkovic, Ziv, Tibi, Garcia, Haim, Shpungin, Alberman, Mitrovic, Rikan, Zahavi, Basat
