Jose Mourinho eager for Chelsea response

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he is eager for his side to respond positively to Saturday's defeat against Manchester City in the FA Cup.

The Blues were knocked out in the fifth round of the competition over the weekend as they went down 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

Mourinho now wants his players to put that loss behind them and get back to winning ways when they host Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.

"I don't like to lose but when I lose, instead of big crying I want the next match to come, I want to play, I want to try to have again the taste of the victory," the Portuguese told the club's official website.

"I am never down with a defeat and I want to start working towards the next match, and hopefully I can pass to them this kind of spirit, this kind of message."

Chelsea are currently one point clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.
