Mourinho gives Remy '50-50' chance of playing vs. Manchester United

Chelsea could have a viable replacement up front for Diego Costa when they clash with Manchester United.

Manager Jose Mourinho says Loic Remy has a better than 50-50 chance of suiting up for the Blues during Saturday's encounter, while Costa continues to recover from a hamstring injury.

Remy, who was forced to miss the team's 1-0 win against Queens Park Rangers with a minor calf injury, will likely have to pass a late fitness test.

Didier Drogba was given the start at QPR, but the Ivorian failed to make a real impact on the match, with Mourinho preferring to use him as a substitute.
