Wenger and Mourinho renew rivalry tonight

The bosses have patched things up since their regular rows during Mourinho’s first spell in charge of Chelsea.

They will meet for the first time since Mourinho’s return in tonight’s capital One Cup fourth round clash.

Asked about his relationship with Wenger now, Mourinho joked: “We have no problems, no problems. Unless you tell me he had an influence on this!”

Mourinho is annoyed his side will be back in action just 48 hours after facing Manchester City in the Premier League.
Tv scheduling and policing issues – Arsenal’s neighbours Tottenham play Hull at home tomorrow – are the main reasons the game will be played tonight.
Mourinho said earlier this month: “The schedule is difficult but it was their ( football League) decision that the game is not important. If they think it’s not important, so do we.”
But he’s decided not to play the kids tonight and is set to use players struggling to get into his league team – like Juan Mata, Kevin De Bruyne, Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel.
