Mourinho: Show us more respect

Jose Mourinho believes Champions League semi-finalists Chelsea do not receive the respect they deserve as he ponders selecting an alternate team for Sunday’s clash with Premier League leaders Liverpool.

The Blues are five points adrift of Liverpool with three games to play, and injuries to goalkeeper Petr Cech (shoulder), captain John Terry (ankle), playmaker Eden Hazard (calf) and striker Samuel Eto’o (knee) coupled with the proximity to next Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg with Atletico Madrid mean Mourinho is pondering wholesale changes at Anfield.
