Chelsea have been the focus of attention from the Football Association this week after manager Jose Mourinho was fined 25,000 pounds ($38,000) and pivotal striker Diego Costa was charged with violent conduct.

Mourinho had said there was a "campaign" to influence referees' decisions against his team, while Costa could miss Saturday's clash after being charged for an alleged stamp on Liverpool's Emre Can in their League Cup semi-final.

Chelsea lead City by five points.
