Tottenham vs Chelsea team news: Diego Costa drops to the bench after Jose Mourinho row, John Terry out injured

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".
