Chelsea must cope without Diego Costa for Old Trafford trip

Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink is without Diego Costa for Monday’s trip to Old Trafford after the striker picked up a suspension in the 2-2 draw against Watford.

Hiddink has also spoken of his belief that Radamel Falcao lacks match fitness, so Loic Remy is likely to start in Costa’s absence.

Eden Hazard and Jon Obi Mikel came on as substitutes against Watford so are in contention to start – possibly at the expense of Cesc Fabregas, who came off at half-time.

Provisional squad: Courtois, Begovic, Ivanovic, Fabregas, Zouma, Rahman, Ramires, Oscar, Falcao, Hazard, Mikel, Traore, Kenedy, Pedro, Remy, Matic, Willian, Cahill, Terry, Blackman, Azpilicueta, Loftus-Cheek, Djilobodji.
