“It’s nice from him”, Mourinho said.

THEY MAY HAVE topped their Champions League group in midweek to ease into the knockout stages, but domestically at least, Manchester City need to bounce back from last week’s 2-0 loss at the hands of Stoke City.

“The fans are being absolutely incredible with us”.

“When people are so nice to me and they sing my name and ‘Stand up for the Special One, ‘ I feel a bit embarrassed”, Mourinho said, “because I don’t know how to react”.

However, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has stated that his side still have a chance of finishing in the top four and claiming that all-important Champions League spot.

Crisps giant Walkers have commissioned 32,000 packets of a specially-branded version of their ready salted flavour to hand out to fans who are attending Monday’s meeting with Chelsea.

“There are a few players out there who don’t play for us who I believe in”.

However, there is still a long way to go before Leicester will be able to achieve such high aspirations and an experienced manager such as Ranieri will be more aware than most regarding this fact. I think he can improve, but for us he is very important, because he recovers a lot of goals.

“One thing is to be top of the league in September after a handsome start”.

The Blues have made a shambolic defence of the Premier League title, losing eight of the 15 league games they have played this season – with last Saturday’s embarrassing 1-0 home defeat to Bournemouth leaving them just two points clear of the relegation zone.

Now, this should be an absolute hammering for the worst team in the league, but what they lack in quality, they make up for in resilience, just ask Man City, who were held to a goalless draw there last month.

“If you can give an award for the first six months of competition, everyone is miles away from him and every club is miles away from what Leicester is doing”. That is partly why you do the job. If they did, they don’t treat me like this.

In the last 24 Premier League games, stretching back to last season, they have 54 points, four more than Arsenal and Manchester City during the same period. But the way they played against Porto, they have to score goals.
