Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho feels that playing against newly-promoted teams is always a difficult task.
Mourinho's Blues will take on last season’s Championship winners Leicester City at Stamford Bridge tomorrow, in their second consecutive Premier League match against a newly promoted side.
The Portuguese believes that it will be a difficult game against the Foxes as they are a championship-winning team who are eager to prove their mettle against the big boys.
“It is difficult”, the Chelsea manager said in a press conference this afternoon.
“Leicester are champions, they are coming with a winning mentality.”
