Chelsea hunt second highest EPL total

Diego Costa

José Mourinho may already be planning for next season, but his Chelsea team has a few loose ends to tie up first.

By winning its last three games, Chelsea can reach 92 points, which would be the second-highest total in the 23-year history of the Premier League. Only three of the records were set by Mourinho's Chelsea team from 2004-05.

The Blues have an unbeaten home record to protect, and Diego Costa is still in contention to finish as the league's top scorer in his first season in England. The Spain striker is on 19 goals and three behind Manchester City's Sergio Aguero.

Potentially, however, Costa may not be risked for the final games to allow him to fully recover from his nagging hamstring problems that have sidelined him since April 4.

Mourinho has been content in the past to make personnel changes once the championship is secured, and there's a possibility that some ever-presents like Eden Hazard, John Terry, and Branislav Ivanovic will be rested.
