Mourinho backing Blues

Jose Mourinho is backing former club Chelsea to exact their revenge on Liverpool in the Champions League having twice been dumped out of the semi-finals by the Merseysiders.

Mourinho lost to Rafael Benitez’s side in the last four in 2005 and 2007 and despite his shock departure from Stamford Bridge in September the Portuguese still wants his ex-players to win – even though he admits it is too close to call.
