Kick-off at Stamford Bridge is at 8pm BST, thus marking our first Friday night game since they became a regular “thing” this season.
It was the scene of his first success at the helm when they defeated Chelsea 3-1 last October while the latter were in the midst of a poor run under Jose Mourinho but the revamped hosts under Antonio Conte are already a much more impressive outfit.
The German manager said: “It is not part of my preparation (to provoke Costa)”.
“But with the gaffer, I just kind of feel I’ve got that connection with him where I know what he wants from me and what he wants from the team”. He is in good shape, he is aggressive but I didn’t see until now any challenges where you could say it should have been a red card.
Gary Cahill argued eloquently that he was blatantly fouled twice by Leory Fer in the build-up to Swansea’s second goal but looks in for a torrid time against electric pace of this nature while one or two errors have started to creep into the game of the formally formidable goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
“Being aggressive is important against him”.
“I’m confident about his performance (on Friday). Obviously he is involved in the game, but that’s not the most important thing”, Klopp said.
Klopp described Costa as world-class and believes the striker will be “a real warrior” again for Chelsea this season.

“It is quite impressive what he has done until now, but I don’t play against Antonio Conte”. “Diego, we all know him”.
If the teams’ last encounter, in a pre-season friendly in the United States, is anything to go by, today’s game could be a spicy affair.
He also dismissed suggestions midfielder Cesc Fabregas could be sold in the next transfer window.
