Caution against Manchester United will not be repeated, says Chelsea boss José Mourinho:
Jose Mourinho says there is no way he will be as cautious as he was against Man United in August as his side has developed so much since the start of the season

“It’s not about them, it’s about us. It’s more about us.”

“In this moment, I feel my team is living a good moment and playing with some stability. The team is quite confident with the ball.”

“Normally we are dominant and have lots of ball possession and have control of the game. The team have had an evolution in a certain direction.”

“In this moment, if the game was at Old Trafford I’d go in a different way.”

"It was the first game of the season away, a difficult one, an important one not to lose and we decided to go that way which in the end was not bad for us because a point at Old Trafford is always a point.”

Thank feck for that.

It'll be a nice game to see how all this "evolution" is coming along.

We've had 2 games against the big sides at home so far this season and in both, we took the game to them (minus maybe the second half vs City, where were a tad more conservative at times). There's no reason to expect different here, especially as these lot are far from a very good side.

Draw away and win at home is Mourinho's long-term gameplan against the big boys over the course of a season, and I expect that philosophy to be continued Sunday.

I have a feeling we'll get sucker punched by Man Utd tomorrow.

I doubt we'll get 'sucker-punched' (unless you're just attempting a GL jinx hmm

), but I think it'll be a closer game than most people are portending.
