costaChelsea’s Diego Costa has taken a dig at the London Stadium by telling ESPN it  feels like a neutral ground:
The striker said: “I think they feel it a lot. They are always a tricky team to play, it’s always difficult to win.
“On their [old] pitch, every game was a tough game. Here, they feel it a little, because they were used to that stadium for years. To come to a field of this size, with the crowd farther away, they can’t feel that heat and don’t have that precision.
“So I think that for us, or any other team that comes to play here, it’s a neutral field, because they’re not used to playing here, neither are we, so it’s a head-to-head match.”
