Premier League: Manchester City will stop Chelsea's goal machine 'Diego Costa'- David Silva

David Silva has backed Manchester City to stop Chelsea’s £32million goal machine Diego Costa in his tracks.
The two title favourites clash at the Etihad on Sunday when City playmaker Silva will come up against his Spain teammates Costa and Cesc Fabregas.
Costa has scored seven goals in four Premier League games since joining Chelsea from Atletico Madrid, but Silva is confident that that champions can become the first team to shut him out in the league.
‘Diego has made a huge impact,’ he said. ‘It is not easy to adapt but he has clearly done it very quickly.
‘He’s scored seven times so far so that record speaks for itself. That’s very important for Chelsea but not that good for us. But we’ve got a good defence and I believe we can stop him on Sunday.
‘I have a very good relationship with both players. I think Chelsea have made some fantastic signings this summer but our friendship will be set aside because we are going out to win.
‘I’ve known Cesc since we were 16-years-old and were in the Spanish youth squads together.
‘I’m looking forward to facing him but in pretty much every game now I seem to be up against a Spanish teammate – when we play Arsenal it’s Santi (Cazorla) or when it’s United it will be Juan Mata.
‘But it’s really all about how the team plays, and our aim as always is to go out and win the game.’
Costa’s impact has seen Chelsea set the early-season pace and they can move eight points ahead of City if they win tomorrow.
Silva added: ‘We need to win because otherwise the gap would be getting too big between the clubs.’
