Remy scored on his only shot of the game in the 41st minute of Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Manchester City on Saturday.

Starting in place of the suspended Diego Costa, Remy wasn't terrible active in the game, but he put home a beautiful pass from Eden Hazard for his first Premier League goal since Dec. 3 against Spurs. With Costa suspended for two more games, Remy will continue to battle with Didier Drogba for the starting job.

Remy came on for Diego Costa in the 74th minute and took one shot, which was on goal, during Chelsea's 5-0 rout of Swansea City on Saturday.

Costa continues to be in incredible form, including two goals and an assist against the Swans, which is making it very difficult for Remy to get consistent playing time in Premier League play.

Remy came off the bench to score in the 73rd minute of Chelsea's 3-0 win over Tottenham on Wednesday.

Didier Drogba got the start ahead of Remy in place of the suspended Diego Costa, with the former actually scoring and grabbing an assist in the easy victory. However, both men figure to be on the bench come Saturday at Newcastle, with Costa eligible to play again.

With Diego Costa suspended, Remy could get the start Wednesday against Tottenham.

Manager Jose Mourinho refused to tip his hand Tuesday about whether Remy or Didier Drogba would get the start in Costa's absence, though either choice would be a solid fantasy option at a price significantly lower than Costa's in salary cap formats.

Remy (groin) was fit to be available off the bench Saturday against Liverpool, but he went unused.

Remy had missed the previous few matches due to a groin injury, but he looks poised to make his true return Nov. 22 against West Brom.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said Friday that Remy has returned to fitness following a groin injury and he will "be involved" in Saturday's match against Liverpool.

Mourinho also said Diego Costa will start the match, so Remy is likely only to be involved off the bench, which certainly limits his fantasy upside.

Remy will not play Sunday against Manchester United due to his groin injury, and he is expected to miss two to three weeks, manager Jose Mourinho confirmed Friday.

On the plus side for Chelsea, Diego Costa may be able to return from his hamstring injury, though if he is ultimately unable to be fit enough, Didier Drogba or Andre Schurrle could start up front.
