Diego Costa will start from the bench for Chelsea in their London derby against Tottenham today.

The Brazil-born Spain striker had a public row with Jose Mourinho during Chelsea' s 4-0 win at Maccabi Tel Aviv on Tuesday, though Mourinho has since said that they made up with "kisses and cuddles".

"He's playing every match and things are not going really well for his confidence," the Blues manager said today ahead of kick off at White Hart Lane, explaining his selection.
