Jose Mourinho says Chelsea will head into Saturday's clash with
Arsenal with a fresh mentality
Jose Mourinho has warned Arsenal that his Chelsea side will head
into Saturday’s Premier League
clash at Stamford Bridge with a “different feeling”
after their Champions League win in midweek.
Mourinho’s side secured a 4-0 victory over
Maccabi Tel-Aviv on Wednesday night as they returned to winning ways and got
their group-stage campaign off to a winning start.
The Blues have made a stuttering start to their Premier League
title defence, with the west London side slumping to a 3-1
loss to Everton last weekend to leave them 11 points behind leaders Manchester
City.
Chelsea have only taken four points from a possible 15 after
their opening five games of the new campaign.
However, the Portuguese coach insists that his side are now relishing
the prospect of taking on their “great rivals”
Arsenal at Stamford Bridge this weekend as they look to kick-start their
season.
Mourinho told Chelsea TV after Wednesday’s victory over Maccabi Tel-Aviv: “We
come with a different feeling.
“We can wake up with a different state
of mind. Saturday is a big match – it’s
a great rival.
“This result can put us in a better
situation. We had too many bad results. We couldn’t have this one on top of it.”
