It seems José Mourinho just can't stop talking about Manchester City in the build up to Monday night's game, and you guessed it, there's more from the Portuguese manager's mouth this morning!
In an interview with London24.com, the 'Special One' continued his mind games by revealing how exactly he'd line his Chelsea side up for the big game. Amid claims that he would be tempted to deploy similar 'park the bus' tactics utilised by Sam Allardyce in Chelsea's 0-0 draw with West Ham United on Thursday night, Mourinho smirked and insisted his title chasers would be going for the win.
'Chelsea is going in one direction. Of course little details. We want to go in a certain direction. Are we going to play with one striker? Yes. We are not going to play without a striker,' the Portuguese boss said, before adding 'Are we going to play with three central defenders because they have two fantastic strikers? We’re going to play with two. We think more than us than them.'
Despite reiterating that his focus remained solely on his side, Mourinho went on to describe his Monday night rivals as 'complete' and praised the likes of Fernandinho, Yaya Touré and Edin Džeko who he was rumoured to be interested in signing last month. Of course, Manuel Pellegrini will be hopeful of giving his rival more reason to admire on Mourinho.
According to the Mirror, Former England manager Glenn Hoddle believes Southampton's Luke Shaw should jump at the chance to make a move to one of the Premier League giants. Shaw has been a reported target for City, Chelsea and Manchester United and Hoddle believes the left back will move this summer.
