Kane? Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma can subdue him - José Mourinho

Chelsea manager José Mourinho, has shrugged off suggestions his team will be put to the sword by red-hot Harry Kane.

Like Chelsea, Kane started the season poorly, but has begin to regain the deadly form he showed last season. He scored Spurs winning goal against Azerbaijan on Thursday, a goal that propelled Tottenham to the next stage of the Europa League.

But chelsea manager José Mourinho in an interview on Saturday, claimed his defenders will keep the England international on check when the two sides meet on Sunday.

Mourinho who disclosed to reporters that captain John Terry is likely to feature on Sunday, after showing great signs of progression, after limping off against Maccabi Tel Aviv, said he had full trust in the central defensive pairing of Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma, and believes the duo can keep Kane on check.

“I have complete trust in Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma, which is why in an important match for us on Tuesday I left Kurt out after the good performances he is having to show Gary that confidence. They are ready

“I am not saying Papy Djilobodji is ready because he did not have chances to play and his, is a different situation.

"But Zouma and Cahill are both ready and if John doesn’t play, I go with them.

“I don’t know about John. I don’t want to say that it is impossible he plays because maybe he plays and people will say that I was hiding it and I am not hiding.

“Today he didn’t train but we have a little hope that it is possible.

“Ramires is the same situation as John, I don’t know, let’s wait and see. He has a chance.”

José, also shrugged off the idea that Tottenham trip to Azerbaijan, could play an important role in the outcome of the encounter between the two sides on Sunday.

And Spurs wing back Rose, believes they can cope with the tight schedule, and put off a good showing against a struggling Chelsea side on Sunday.

“It needs to be the same again from us. Obviously Chelsea have had a difficult run but that doesn’t make them a bad team,” Rose said.

“They’ve got a world-class squad, a world-class manager and it’s a derby, so form goes out of the window.

“It’s going to be a difficult game but we just hope that we can perform and give the same energy and commitment as we did against West Ham. If we do that, it will be a difficult game for them.

“From our side, we’ve got a great sense of belief inside the changing room and inside the club, so as long as we keep doing what the head coach asks then we know we’ll be in for an exciting season.”
