Asked whether he could fill Costa’s boots, Remy said: “I don’t have a choice”. I want to play and when the manager gives me a chance I just try to score goals and give assists.

“I don’t put pressure on myself because I know my quality”.

John Terry returned to the starting line-up against Walsall and is expected to retain his place for the trip to the north east.

Netherlands midfielder Wijnaldum, a £12m summer signing from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven, said: “The Chelsea game is an opportunity to get a good result”.
