Conte: I’d rather have Diego Costa than Romelu Lukaku in my Chelsea team

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has revealed that he would rather have Diego Costa up front for his side than Everton's Romelu Lukaku.

Former Chelsea striker Lukaku is the top scorer in the Premier League this season with 24 goals and has been linked with a return to Stamford Bridge but on Sunday he will be aiming to cause problems for his former side at Goodison Park.

As reported by the Daily Express, Conte said: "In my team? For me my players are the best in the world and I don’t change with anyone else.

"I think he (Lukaku) is a really good player and is scoring a lot of goals in this season, not only this season, we must pay great attention.

"But it is the same, to find the right solution to stop them. We must find the right solution to stop Lukaku and all the other players."

Chelsea are four points clear at the top of the Premier League and know that they can ill afford to slip up against Everton with Tottenham also in pursuit of the title.

Costa ended a seven-game goal drought by hitting a brace in the victory over Southampton this week, but is the Spain international a superior option to Lukaku?

Although Costa is the more experienced of the pair, it is Lukaku who has come out on top this season in terms of goals scored, while the Belgian also has a superior shot accuracy to the Chelsea striker.
