Jose Mourinho expects tough Newcastle United test

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho admits that the club's unconvincing record at St James' Park is a concern ahead of their trip to play Newcastle United.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that Newcastle United usually rise to the occasion when his side make the trip to St James' Park.

The Blues, who lead the Premier League table by six points, have lost on their last two visits to the North-East to play the Magpies, and Mourinho has revealed that he expects the same display from their opponents on Saturday lunchtime.

The 51-year-old told reporters: "There are a few stadiums in this country where, when they see a Chelsea shirt, they play game of their lives"

"Maybe it's because in the last decade Chelsea have become a top team that everybody wants to beat."

Chelsea are yet to lose in 21 matches in all competitions this season.
