London: Chelsea Football Club forward Diego Costa said game against rivals Arsenal comes at a right time which will give the club perfect opportunity to arrest their early-season slump.

Chelsea face Arsenal in English Premier League match on Saturday.

Jose Mourinho coached side thrashed Israeli football club Maccabi Tel-Aviv 4-0 in the Champions League match on Wednesday, with the Spaniard scoring the third goal with a sublime volley.

Chelsea are struggling in the Premier League, currently in 17th place, having taken just four points from their opening five games, goal.com reported on Thursday.

Chelsea will search of just their second league win of the campaign on Saturday and Costa believes that the match is a timely opportunity.

“There’s nothing better than a game against Arsenal to win and fix this situation. If we win then we’ll take a step forward in terms of confidence and points; we know about the importance of the game,” Costa said.

“We have to remain calm. We have enough quality to fix the situation,” he said.

Chelsea did not make major changes to their squad in the summer transfer window and Costa said that the players know that they simply must improve in the coming weeks.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
