Super Eagles attacking midfielder, Victor Moses, is riding high with the Premiership League leaders, Chelsea, as they host Hull City on Sunday to consolidate their top position on the league table.
Antonio Conte’s boys are comfortably setting the pace with 52 points, after 21 matches, with 17 victories, one draw game and three loses, while Tottenham Hotspurs came up in the second position with 45 points.
The club would be having a stress-free encounter against a relegation bound side, which have nothing at stake in the Premier League. Hull are occupying third position from the rear of the Premiership table.
Meanwhile, Chelsea has rubbished hints that there are crisis in the club, as Conte played down talk of a problem with Diego Costa, after omitting the striker from his squad for last Saturday’s 3-0 win at Leicester City.
Costa, Chelsea’s top scorer with 14 goals, is thought to have been dropped after a training-ground row with fitness coach, Julio Tous. “I repeat the truth, because I like to tell the truth and not lie,” Conte told BT Sport.
“Diego stopped training on Tuesday because he felt a pain in his back and from that moment, he didn’t train during the week. For this reason, he wasn’t available.
This is the truth,” he added. Costa, 28, is reported to have received a contract offer from China worth £30 million ($36.5 million, 34 million euros) a year. But Conte said, “I don’t know anything about this.” Asked if he would need to speak to Costa and owner Roman Abramovich to resolve the situa t i o n , C o n t e r e – plied, “ I f there are problems, I prefer to solve the problem in the changing room and not during the press conference.”
