Chelsea forward Willian has suggested that Blues striker Diego Costa will be on fire against Arsenal in tomorrow’s FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.
The 28-year-old has bagged 21 goals this season for the Blues and could add a couple more to his tally in tomorrow’s intriguing cup final.
The Brazil international has told London Evening Standard that the former Atletico Madrid striker loves playing in finals and even more against the Gunners.
“Everyone likes to play in games like Saturday, but Diego really enjoys the big games, the big stage at Wembley where the atmosphere will be amazing.
He loves the big occasion, he likes playing against Arsenal. He is a striker, he wants to score, he wants to make the difference. I hope he scores again on Saturday.
He has been talking about this game, but all of us have. Everyone wants to play this match. We know what we have to do. We have to enjoy and play with responsibility.”

Chelsea lost their first meeting of the season against Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates last September, but the defeat made Antonio Conte change the system and tactics so much the Blues ended up winning all of the upcoming 13 league games, and later the Gunners 3-1 in the reverse fixture at the Bridge.
