Diego Costa simply must start for Chelsea against Hull City, here’s 2 reasons why…

 Meritocracy

Antonio Conte has always picked players based on merit, in that they are picked based on how they perform.

When it comes to performances, nobody has performed better than Diego Costa.

Of course, he has scored goals, as we’ve already mentioned, but Costa is so much more than goals

He is a hard worker, he doesn’t stop running, and he is Chelsea out ball going forward.

Conte has built his side around the Spaniard – and based on merit, Costa should be.
